Fruit Leather

This is YUUUMMMMY!  We made this for Vacation Bible School, and it was a big hit! This is a perfect snack that is completely healthy! Just roll 'em up and stick 'em in a bag. Ingredients: 3 C unsweetened applesauce 1 pound fruit of your choice (fresh or frozen) 2-3 T 100% juice concentrate Instructions: Preheat oven to lowest setting (170-200), and line a cookie sheet with parchment.  Blend all ingredients.  Spread the puree over the parchment-lined cookie sheet, about 1/4 inch thick.  Bake in the oven for 4-8 hours.  When fruit is no longer sticky to the touch remove from the oven.  It should be dry but not crisp.  use a sharp knife or scissors to cut into strips.   You can also do this in a dehydrator.  I have an Excalibur dehydrator with liners for wet things like this.  I spread it on and dehydrate it at 130 degrees for 8-10 hours.  I did have trouble with the three different flavors wanting to separate as they dried.  I had to smear more puree
