Ingredients
- 7 1/2 pounds fresh blueberries, picked over
- 24 cups 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) cantaloupe cubes
- 1 1/2 cups lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the ingredients and blend until smooth, with an applesauce-like consistency.
- Pour the puree into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and let simmer for 2 minutes.
- Let cool, then pour 1 cup of puree per leather in strips on a drying sheet set in a dehydrator tray. Slap the tray on the counter a couple times to level the liquid. Dehydrate at 125 °F until the leathers easily peel off the drying sheet, 11 hours.
- Peel the leathers off the sheet and place them on the mesh rack of the dehydrator tray, then place back into the dehydrator for another 3 hours. Store as directed while warm .
