Homemade Fruit Leather

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh strawberries (or any berries)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp allulose (optional, for sweetness balance)

Method

1. 1

   Blend strawberries, lemon juice, and allulose until completely smooth.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 170°F (or the lowest setting) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Pour the puree onto the parchment and spread into a thin, even layer, about 1/8-inch thick.

4. 4

   Bake 4-6 hours, until the center is no longer tacky and the leather is fully dried.

5. 5

   While still slightly warm, roll the parchment paper up together with the fruit leather — rolling it warm like this is what lets it curl into a neat roll instead of cracking apart once it's fully cooled and stiff. Slice into strips once cooled.
