2
cup
strawberries
pureed (Makes 1 tray)
-
Sugar or honey if needed
-
Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature. I set mine to 170 Degrees Fahrenheit / 76 Degrees Celsius.
-
Puree the fruit in a mixer or food processor. Taste and adjust the sweetness with sugar or honey as needed. (I did not add any sweetener)
-
Pour into a tray lined with silicon mat or parchment paper. Spread with a spatula. Don't spread it too thin or else it will turn crisp.
-
Place it in the oven for 3-5 hours or till the top is not longer wet to touch, is slightly tacky and the fruit strips peels off easily.
-
Cut the uneven ends with scissors and cut into strips. Roll it up or with a parchment paper in between.
-
Store it tightly wrapped in an airtight container.
If you want thicker fruit strips you can pour the puree into a sauce pan and stir it to let the water evaporate and the puree slightly thicken before pouring into the tray.
I personally don't like the smell of bananas so I combine it other berries and fruits.
