leathers & fruIt rolls
Puree yogurt, leftover fruit or vegetables. Sweeten or spice. Spread 1 ½ to 2 cups of pureed
produce thinly (about 1/8” thick at the center and ¼” on the edges) on Excalibur Paraflexx
sheets or wax paper and dehydrate at 135˚F / 57˚C for 4-6 hours. When leather has dried
it will be a bit shiny and not-sticky. Let it cool and peel it from the tray. Roll and serve as
a quick-energy, chewy snack. Strawberries and rhubarb or bananas and pineapple make
great combinations.
Fruit
Tart fruits (rhubarb and cranberries) require sweetening before drying. Add ¼ to ½ cup of
honey or sugar to the fruit puree. Flavor apple leathers with cinnamon or nutmeg. Peanut
and banana leathers can be made with 4 bananas and 1 cup of peanut butter. Be sure to
refrigerate leather using nuts as the oil in nuts may shorten the leather’s shelf life. Try adding
coconut or chopped nuts to the leather for more taste and texture. Dehydrate at 135˚F /
57˚C for 4-6 hours.
Yogurt
Yogurt when dried becomes a taffy-like snack. Make yogurt, add flavoring like strawberries
or peppermint extract. Dry. Then cut the yogurt leather into 1/2” pieces. Re-dry for 1 hour
to seal the edges. Dehydrate at 135˚F / 57˚C for 4-6 hours.
Vegetables
Steam until tender, puree, and mix with herbs and spices. Tomato puree mixed with Italian
herbs can be dried and later rehydrated for use as tomato past or sauce. Gazpacho leathers
made from tomato, cucumber, onion, green pepper and herbs is a delicious, low calorie treat.
Carrot leathers can be the base for cream soup. Dehydrate at 125˚F / 52˚C for 4-6 hours.
