Equipment
- 1 silpat non-stick silicone mat a silpat costs approx. $15 and makes it possible to lift the fruit leather from the cookie sheet with ease. Silpat mats last a lifetime, and I use them to roast tomatoes and onions and peppers in the oven to baking cookies and lately making Plum and Honey Fruit Leather.
Ingredients
- 4 cups plums (8 red plums) remove seeds and chop coarsely
- 2 Tb Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey
- 1 Tb fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Place chopped plums on a baking sheet and bake at 350 Degrees for 15 minutes or until plums are soft.4 cups plums (8 red plums)
- Add cooked plums, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon to a food processor or blender and process into a smooth puree.4 cups plums (8 red plums), 2 Tb Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey, 1 Tb fresh lemon juice, ¼ tsp cinnamon
- Pour onto a silpat lined 12" x 18" cookie sheet that has a raised edge and spread out to ⅛-¼ inch thick.
- Bake in a 150-170 Degree oven for 6-8 hours until the middle of the leather is no longer sticky. In my experience, the baking process has reached 10 hours. It is no bother to me though because I start and bake 5-6 hours. Then turn off the oven until another convenient time arrives when I may complete the baking.
- When the plum fruit leather cools, remove from the silpat and cut into ribbons and roll (with wax paper strips between layers of plum leather).
- Keep in a closed container at room temperature.
