Peach & Ginger Fruit Leathers

 

 

 

Ingredients:

• 4 cups ripe peaches

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger root (optional)

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp NUA Naturals Agave Nectar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instructions:

• Line 2 dehydrator trays with parchment sheets lightly coated with coconut oil. Set dehydrator according to manufacturer instructions. (“fruit” setting at 135°F)

• Peel and chop peaches, removing bruises and soft spots. Purée the peaches, lemon juice, ginger, vanilla and agave in a blender or food processor until smooth. 

• Pour fruit purée onto prepared sheets / pan to about ¼-inch thick. Spread with a spatula if the fruit purée doesn’t self-level.

• Resist the temptation to pour extra-thick purée. The leather will crack and not dry out properly.

• Cook, undisturbed for 6 to 12 hours, or until the fruit is dry to the touch yet pliable.

• While still warm, turn the fruit leather onto a fresh sheet of parchment paper.

• Cut it into wedges (for dehydrator trays) or strips (for baking pan), roll and store in an airtight container.
