Calories: 30kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped apricots
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Wash and chop approximately 8 to 10 apricots, to equal 3 cups.
- Add apricots to a small saucepan. Sprinkle apricots with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Add sugar and water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from overflowing.
- Allow to cool, then puree in a food processor or blender.
- Line an 18" x 13" tray with either parchment paper, plastic wrap, or a silicone baking mat.
- Pour the apricot mixture into the tray. Spread the apricot mixture using a spatula. Leave a few inch border uncovered.
- Bake in a 180-degree F oven for 5 hours or until the surface of the fruit leather is dried and slightly tacky.
- Flip fruit leather onto waxed or parchment paper. Cut into strips and roll. Store in a plastic bag.
Notes
You can also make this recipe using dried apricots instead of fresh ones. Just make the following substitutions:
- Instead of fresh apricots, use two cups of dried apricots.
- Double the amount of water (from ¼ cup to ½ cup).
- You may need less lemon juice since dried apricots are usually more tart than fresh apricots.
