Too many of any fruit? Fruit leather! (or a fruit roll-up if you want to get all nasty processed with added sugar junk). I had mangoes that were about to not be okay and I knew that we weren’t going to use them in time. I wasn’t in a muffin making kind of mood so I settled on fruit leather.

What do you need:

• 2 medium mangoes
• food processor or blender
• oven
• Parchment paper

Really, that’s all you need.

Let’s make this!

• Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature. Mine says “warm” so it’s usually around 170 degrees?
• Peel and blend your mangoes to a puree

• Line a baking dish with some parchment paper.
• Spread your puree across the baking dish in a thin even layer.

• Bake at the lowest temperature you can in your oven for 2-5 hours. I check mine at 2 hours. If it isn’t solid and has the right texture, leave it in and check every 30 minutes.

When I made mine last night, I had to bake it for 4 hours. After the 4 hours, I turned off the oven and left it in until the morning. When I checked it in the morning, it was the perfect texture and ready to eat.

When your fruit leather is good to go, cut it how you want it and eat. Store in an air tight container for up to 5 days (not that it will last that long). No need to refrigerate.

Tell me what you thought about this recipe if you try it. Just remember until next time, anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!
