Ingredients:
- 2 cups (280g) fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- 2 tbsp (42g) honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
Instructions:
- Place the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice into a high-speed blender or food processor. Process on high until the mixture is completely velvety and no seeds or chunks remain.
- Pour the puree into a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and reduces by about 20%.
- Preheat the oven to 170°F (75°C) or set a dehydrator to the fruit setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Pour the puree onto the center of the baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer approximately 1/8 inch thick, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Slide the tray into the oven or dehydrator. Dry for 4 hours until the center is no longer tacky to the touch and the leather peels away from the parchment cleanly.
- Carefully peel the fruit leather off the parchment. Use a pizza cutter or kitchen shears to slice the sheet into long strips, then roll each strip tightly.
