Mixed Berry Fruit Leather

My kids used to eat a lot of fruit roll ups. I thought I was giving them a healthy-ish treat made with "real fruit." Upon further investigation I realized I was just feeding them a bunch of junk. Who knew it would be so easy to make them on my own??

After getting our dehydrator a lot of the old favorites are coming back into the line up. I just can't make these fruit leathers fast enough! Everyone loves them, even my husband can't get enough. I am looking forward to exploring with different fruits. 

Mixed Berry Fruit Leather


40 oz mixed berries frozen or fresh (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries)
2 T maple syrup

Mix berries and maple syrup in ninja until nice and smooth. Pour mix onto 3 dehydrator trays covered with parchment paper. Spread to about 1/4 in thick with spatula. Dehydrate at 105 for 13 hours. Remove from dehydrator peel leather off and roll. Slice into indiviudal serving sizes. Cover with plastic wrap. My batch made 18. Store in glass continainer with lid for 3 weeks or freezer for much longer than it will matter. Enjoy! I understand this will work in the oven at your lowest temperature for 4-6 hours. Just keep an eye on them!!
