In reply to Katie - Wellness Mama. Could I use canned beets for this? If so what measurement?

Thanks for the great recipe as usual! Is there any natural or “less harmful” preservative to make these last longer?

In reply to Katie - Wellness Mama. I have just bought a dehydrator and loving it! Any other recipes to use it for? Thank you x

Sadly I think I just wasted a quart of strawberries (and half a hour straining the seeds out) on this :/ tried the oven method cause there was way too much to fit on the fruit leather mat in the dehydrator, and it’s burned in spots and still hasn’t set up even overnight

Gonna do a smaller one next time and try that in the dehydrator

Could you use fermented berries for this? Or would the heat destroy the good stuff? Thank you.

I’ve had these pinned for way too long, finally made them and well… what a hit! Super tasty, and fun for the kiddos. I didn’t taste the beets at all, and because our oven dosn’t cook evenly, we sliced off the fruit leather that was finished drying, and just put the rest back in the oven to finish up. Super easy, I can see us making these often. Thanks for the great recipe!

We made fruit leather for my youngest son’s third birthday party. We don’t have a dehydrator and it took longer than a day in the oven! They were super delicious and had no added sugar! So fun. The kids loved them and the smell in the oven was so tempting!

In reply to Brenda. I use vanilla protein powder instead of honey or other sweeteners to get more protein into them. They have a more creamy look to them, not the nice clear dark colour you see in the pictures above but that doesn't seem to bother my kids, they still love them. Just make sure you're using a good quality protein powder.

Thanks for the recipe! Is it 170 degrees celcius or farenheit?

I tried this recipe. It. took almost 6 hours and the leather completely adhered to the parchment paper. Are there any ways to combat this without using a silicon mat?

@wellnessmama
Thank you for your blog ! Much love
Unfortunately I used wax paper and no way would the leather separate from the wax paper ?
I will try again with silicon !

In reply to Nikki. Maybe leave you oven cracked; when I make beef jerky I hang in oven, put oven on lowest setting and leave the door cracked

I’m sorry, but what have I done wrong? The edges of mine were burnt, and I could only taste the beets. The parchment paper would NOT come off. Any tips?
