Apricot Fruit Leather - Sugar free

For the first time ever, our apricot tree has produced an abundance of fruit. Beautiful peach and golden globes of summery sweetness!  
We were thrilled to discover that we could make them sugar free, and have loved how quick they were to prepare. They have been such a great use for our over abundance of fruit and we love them as a quick healthy snack. 




Following is a sugar free recipe for Apricot fruit leather. 

6 cups fresh (pitted) apricots (washed)

1 T. lemon juice (to retain color)

8-10 medium dates (I use deglet noor from Costco), optional for added sweetness

1/2 cup water +/-

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Add additional water if needed.

Pour approximately 2 cups onto parchment lined baking sheets and smooth with rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Repeat with additional baking sheets. 

Set outside in sun and allow to dry. Once dry, peel from parchment paper and flip over to dry on other side. Reserve parchment paper for later use.

If desired, hang from clothesline for additional drying. 

When dry, place leather on parchment paper, and roll. Cut into desired lengths and store.
