This basic process will work for nearly any fruit that you’d like to make into roll-up leather. They have a great shelf life and make wonderful healthy snacks.

1. Wash and peel fruit; make sure to remove any overripe parts.

2. Purée fruit in food processor or blender.

3. Taste; sweeten to preference.

4. Heat entire mix to a low rolling boil; cool.

5. Coat fruit-leather tray for your dehydrator with spray-on oil.

6. Cover the oiled surface with purée no more than 1 8-inch thick. Dry at 135°F about 12 hours.

7. Wrap in plastic for storing.

8. This process can work in a conventional oven on the lowest setting, but the dehydrator circulates the air so the leathers dry evenly.
