Peach Fruit Leathers

We got a bunch of peaches in our co-op basket this week.  I though about doing some ice cream or cobbler, but at the last minute I decided to make peach fruit leathers.

Fruit leathers are really easy to make.  Much cheaper too!  I used my dehydrator to make these peach fruit leathers, but you can make them in your oven as well.  I just love the dehydrator because it quietly runs and I can even leave the house with it on.  It also doesn’t heat up the kitchen.  This is so easy, it’s almost silly to call it a recipe.

Prep Time 20 min Cook Time 7 hr Serves 10 fruit rolls     adjust servings

Ingredients

  • 5 peaches
  • 1 T honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using an oven, preheat it to 150. 
  2. Cut and pit all the peaches. I left the skins on, but you can also remove them if you want.
  3. In a food processor or blender , mix the peaches into a smooth puree.  Take a taste. 
  4. If the mixture is on the tart side, add a small amount of sweetener. 
  5. If you are using the oven, spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Make sure it’s as even as it can get. 
  6. Bake for about 7 hours or until the mixture is a bit tacky.  I kept checking on mine to see how easily it could pull away from the parchment. 
  7. I also line my dehydrator trays with parchment. 
  8. Set the dehydrator on 150 and run for about 7 hours.
