Strawberry Rhubarb Leather
What you need:
1 cup rhubarb
1/4 cup water
2 cups strawberries sliced
1/2 cup sugar
What you do:
Combine finely chopped rhubarb and water. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add strawberries and vegan sugar. Simmer another 5 minutes. Puree mixture until smooth in a blender or food processor. Dehydrate in a dehydrator or in oven.*
To dry in an oven just set temp at lowest possible setting --about 140 degress would be good. Dry until fruit feels leather like ;yet pliable. This would probably best be done on parchment paper, Remove the leather while it is still warm and roll it up.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Before there was wax paper ... we'd rub shortening onto the brown paper, just as if you were greasing a cake pan. This should prevent sticking.
Thank you for the recipe, I'm having fun making different fruit combinations, so simple and such a treat for the kids, big or small.
OMG, these are awesome!!!!! My lovely mother-in-law got my toddler hooked on fruit snacks (ie- gusher, fruit by the foot, fruit roll ups) which I was NOT happy about. When I tried this recipe, I had no idea how successful it would be... Well, let me just say that I have now made these five times, doubling the recipe and using different fruit combinations. I even gave this recipe to a girl at work! Thanx a bunch!!!
I made a strawberry rhubarb concoction yesterday and forgot about it, so it ended up more as a syrup than what I was hoping it to be... However, I'm going to blend and dehydrate it to fruit leathery goodness. Thanks for the inspiration!
