The parchment paper worked great I thought. It peels right off. It doesn't roll up tight though. I would make it again this way. I made strawberry leather in the oven – set at 200 for about 4 hours.

I've not dried it in the oven yet. I would say maybe 200 degrees for 4-5 hours. But I'm not sure if plastic can be put in the oven like that, so I'd try using wax paper or tinfoil as the bottom layer. These are just suggestions, as I haven't done this before, but if you try it, let me know how it goes. Victoria – I’m not quite sure. I’ve not dried it in the oven yet.

I loved it. It was sticky and messy. But without her to clean up after me anymore, I am now learning the free ride that I got from her. I went searching on the internet, and found a company that had the original recipe for fruit leather. We started selling their product on our website and would love to hear your comments if you think it tastes as good as your homemade batch. A little less messy, but hopefully just as tasty and fun! http://www.nutsonline.com/driedfruit/fruit-leather/ Look forward to hearing your comments.

I'm going to try the lemon juice. In my opinion, peaches are the best all around fruit for leather. I buy seconds, (cheap and ripe), take out the pits, and grind them up skin an all, The skin is a god addition, not a concession because I'm lazy. Peaches "leather up" so well that I use them mixed with others, like cherries and raspberries, that are either expensive, time consuming, or don't "leather up" so well. You might try sprinkling a little powdered sugar on finished leather if you want to sweeten. That is, if you're not opposed to refined sugar. Adding sweetners to the mix can make it more brittle and less leathery. Thx Thanks for the tips on strawberry leather. I’m going to try the lemon juice.

I went to our local home supercenter and bought premade screens. I used them exclusively to make leather and much cheaper. I found the drying racks on the internet, but then had an idea.

Extra fiber! Plum is easy, and you don’t have to pull the skin off, just blend it really well in a blender and you’re good to go. Extra fiber!
