Strawberry Kiwi Fruit Leather
A blend of sweet strawberries and tropical kiwi, creating a balanced and refreshing taste that tantalizes the taste buds. COOKING METHOD: Dehydrating
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
- 1 Blender
- 4 Fruit leather/liquid dehydrating trays
Ingredients
- 6 kiwis
- 6 strawberries (1 heaping cup sliced)
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
Instructions
- 1. Peel kiwis and hull strawberries.
- Combine kiwis, strawberries and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. You should have 2 cups worth: add more fruit if needed.
- 2. Pour ½ cup of mixture into middle of dehydrating tray. Tilt tray in circular motions to fully cover tray with a thin layer of mixture.
- 3. Dehydrate at 135℉ for approx 7 hours. When done, leather should be dry to touch.
- 4. Once slightly cooled, peel leather off tray and cut into 2" strips (6 per tray). See below for further storage guidelines.
Notes
- Water content of fruit naturally varies: If the mixture is too thick and does not spread well on tray (spreads in clumps and leaves bare spaces on tray), you may need to add a couple tbsp of water and blend again.
- If your leather is cracking once dried, the mixture may have been too thin (or dried too long)
- You may need to adjust mixture amount per tray depending on your tray size and shape
- Dehydrating time may vary (the thickness and water content of the mixture, as well as the humidity and altitude of your environment will impact dehydrating time)
- It's easiest to pull off leather when slightly warm
