Ingredients
Serves 4-6
Strawberry Rhubarb Leather
1 cup rhubarb
¼ cup water
2 cups strawberries
½ cup honey
Applesauce Leather
1kg apples, peeled, cored and quartered.
¼ cup lemon juice
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Yoghurt Leather, eg. Passionfruit Yoghurt

Method
Strawberry Rhubarb Leather
Combine ¼ cup of water and 1 cup of rhubarb. Simmer on the stove over a
medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups strawberries and ½ cup honey.
Puree to smooth consistency in blender. Pour on a fruit leather sheet and dry.
Applesauce Leather
Simmer apples in a saucepan with ½ cup water until softened (about 15-20
minutes). Place lemon juice in a blender and gradually add the apples. Puree,
and add the sugar and Cinnamon. Mix well and pour onto a fruit leather sheet
and dry. If you are going to re-hydrate into apple-sauce measure the puree when
putting it onto the tray. To re-hydrate, add 1 cup of water to each cup of leather.
Yoghurt Leather, eg. Passionfruit Yoghurt
Spread home made or store bought yoghurt on a lightly sprayed fruit leather
sheet (approx. 6mm thick). Dry at 55°C for about 12 to 14 hours. Experiment until
you find the brand which dries most evenly.
