I started using applesauce (pectin) and it changed the game for my fruit roll ups. You can use sugar free too. Walmart has a good value brand that’s inexpensive. I’ve used frozen and fresh fruit. Is 1 part apple sauce, 2 parts fruit. I’ve never cooked the fruit slurry before dehydrating and it comes out perfect. Happy Dehydrating!

This is a really cool idea. Not only does it add pectin, but it adds a little natural sweetness from the applesauce.

Very interesting! I’ll have to try this recipe. Mama used to make fruit leather for me, when I was a little girl. But hers was just the foam off the fruit jam she was making, mixed with a little of the leftover jam in the bottom of the pot. Then she’d pour in onto parchment paper and bake it on a cookie sheet in the oven, set to its lowest temperature. It was such a wonderful treat for me. Made me feel special to receive something just for me after her very long day of making dozens of jars of jam.

Hey Caroline, Just watched this video again. I thought I'd share a little tip for rolling the leather in parchment: roll the whole sheet of leather (or 1/2 sheet, depending on parchment size), in the parchment and slice into strips with a sharp knife. Saves time, instead of slicing the leather first and trying to rollup in parchment.

Yum..Yes I think you're correct. The difference between a fruit leather and a fruit strap is the amount of pectin and placed a generous amount on the tray.. P.s. did you know that you can easily get natural pectin from any citrus? Carrot has natural pectin as well. (I grate it into cooked Apple and add a bit of toasted coconut as well.) Spread 1 centimetre thick and be generous around the edges.. My mouth is watering looking at those strawberries. I bet they make delicious fruit straps!!

We freeze the excess strawberries and blueberries we don't have time to eat, then when it's apple season you just puree the frozen fruit with the ugly apples. 50% apple instead of the grape juice.

If she doesn’t have it, I called my grandmother’s sister. If I can’t find one of mom’s recipes and she’s lost it, I called the girls that she used to go to church with, or the ones she goes to church with now.

My family doesn't think it changes the flavor much but they love applesauce. Depending on the fruits I bet you could go higher on the applesauce too. Like if your blueberries have a lot of flavor. The only one my family didn't like was banana but they feel banana has a weird texture dried. They love the deep fried banana chips(especially the ones with a touch of turbano sugar and crushed walnuts but thats hard to find sometimes). I hope this helps. I just know raspberries and blueberries and strawberries all were kinda hard when dried into fruit leather. The kiddos hated the textures. Oh another fun thing to try is pureed fruit mixed with yogurt and made into fruit leather. They love that too.

When you say they are shelf stable, could you please give a general idea (I understand that they probably don't stay on the shelves all that long for anyone in a household with children! LOL) about how long you feel this particular kind of product would be stable.

I've seen other videos where it was mentioned if it is kept in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid it can last a year, if it is kept in a zip lock plastic bag it can last 6 months. From Chocolate box cottage: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ir5joJmQvNSrmqs.html

My aunt made fruit leathers that was more like fruit fudge rolls. Brittle, dry and very fruity without being sugar sweet. Not leathery at all. But they consider it a family secret and no-one gets the secret. Very very good. I would buy that in bulk anyday.

I am originally from Orlando, FL. Travel Nursed all over the country. Lived in Franklin, NC for 20 years, till my late husband passed away. Then, I sold everything, paid cash for a custom RV, and went to AZ/CA/NV border area. I hated it....dry, dusty, too much violrnce from illegals. So, my current hubby & I chose to relocate to Idaho. Sold RV, and now live in Montpelier, ID. The southeast region. We love it! I noticed, the growing season was extremely short last year.....this year, even shorter. So.....I now grow my peppers, ginger, tomatoes, squash, indoors, using grow lights & window sunshine. The Idaho Agricultural guys told me the growing seasons have been getting shorter & shorter, each year. I live your ideas, and it's nice to meet an Idahoan......so, hello neighbor!

I would think so, as long as your meat was precooked before you dehydrate it. It may change some how it looks once it is dehydrated and rehydrated. Check out 'soups' or 'meals' in a jar videos.

I feel like this is a stupid question but would unflavoured gelatin do the same thing? My boyfriend is a diabetic and I tried to make sugar free jam with very little success, naturally the regular pectin did not cut it so I'm glad to hear that there's one that doesn't need it. Just need to figure out where to get it. Go Canada? supposedly I can get it at Walmart, we'll see.

My mother one time made the best blueberry preserves, she did not add in any sugar, she just cooked them for a long time on a low flame, till a lot of the water cooked out. I would cook them down a lot and towards the end add in a little Gelatin, and dehydrate them on a low heat.

There's probably a way to make this without the powdered pectin or juice concentrate. I use grated apples or hawberries for my berry Jams and I'm even able to reduce the (plain) sugar if it's a ripe enough berry. There must be something similarly possible for fruit leathers... Got me thinking!

@soronos8586 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Just go pick a bunch of crab apples and boil it down to make your own pectin. Then add that to your jam or your fruit leather. Cool idea with the berries though, I’ve never tried it with them. I’d be interested to see how that comes out.
