I am using a 42 cm x 28 cm tray in this recipe. If your tray is smaller, either use less fruit or spread it over two trays as a thicker leather can be quite tough to chew. If the purée barely manages to cover the entire tray, you’ve got the right amount.
Ingredients
-
500g strawberries
-
20g ginger
-
40g golden granulated sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 80°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
De-stem the strawberries, peel and grate the ginger. Add both to a food processor along with the sugar and blend into a smooth purée. Spread the purée out on the lined baking tray and let it dehydrate in the oven for 8 hours until the moisture evaporated and the purée turned into a fruit leather that feels tacky to the touch. If there are any soft spots left, simply return it to the oven for a little longer. Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and leave it to cool, then use a knife to cut the leather into strips. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container, where they will last for at least one month.
