Ingredients
- 2 3/4 pounds apples (about 6 medium), cored (peeling is optional)
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, picked over
- 2 cups apple juice, cranberry juice cocktail, or water
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 5/8 tablespoon 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 .
