Servings 5
Equipment
- blender or food processor
- dehydrator or oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup peach puree from fresh, perfectly ripe peaches
- 1 tsp organic lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/8 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tbsp real maple syrup
Instructions
- Puree peaches to the finest texture possible. Add other ingredients and puree/blend again to incoporate.
- Pour liquid puree onto parchment paper on a shelf in your dehydrator. If using an oven, put parchment paper on cookie sheet. Using a spatula, spread the puree thickly (see photo in article) into a square or rectangular shape
- See notes in article about variance in drying times and temperatures based on the equipment used and the humidity in your environment. If using an Excalibur dehydrator: ideal peach leather temperature is 115°F (46°C) and dry time is about 14 hours. If using an oven, turn to lowest temperature setting possible. Peach fruit leather is done when the center surface is no longer sticky/tacky to the touch.
- Let leather cool and sit for 30-60 minutes. Then roll it inside the parchment paper. Secure roll with tape or twine OR cut it into smaller serving sized pieces prior to storage. Store in airtight ziplock or jar in cupboard for 2+ months.
