IV. Fruit Leather

Age to introduce: over 1 year old

Wash, chop and puree chosen fruit, adding a small amount of water if needed. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent discoloration, if desired. If desired, fruit can be cooked first, as for ice-cube purees. Use a dehydrator according to the manufacturer's instructions. Or use your oven: Spread evenly on a greased cookie sheet. About 1-3/4 cups of puree should do the trick. Place tray in an oven heated 120 degrees, leaving the door slightly ajar. Dry for 6-8 hours. Flip fruit leather over and dry another 6-8 hours.
