Homemade strawberry-mango fruit leather with no special equipment needed! A fun, easy DIY project with delicious, healthy results.
Ingredients
  • 1 quart strawberries, hulled
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • Sugar to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to its lowest setting, somewhere around 150 to 170 degrees.
  2. Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
  3. Puree the strawberries and mango in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  4. Taste the puree and add sugar if needed. (Feel free to use more or less than the amount called for.)
  5. Spread the fruit puree in a thin, even layer on the baking sheets. The puree should not be more than ⅛ thick. (To measure, stick a skewer in the puree and then measure how far up the skewer the puree comes.)
  6. Dry the puree in the oven until darkened, dry to the touch and pliable, approximately six hours.
  7. Peel the fruit leather off the Silpat or parchment paper and cut into strips.
  8. Store in an airtight container.
