1 1/4 pounds of chopped fruit ( see suggestions below)
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tabls. of Lemon juice
wax paper
foil
baking sheet with a rim
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Combine the fruit , lemon juice and sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Transfer the pureed fruit to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Reduce to low heat and cook, occasionally stirring until most of the liquid evaporates and the mix is very thick. This may take 35-40 mins.
Line a 12 x 17 inch baking sheet with rims with nonstick foil or a silicone mat. Use a spatula to spread the mix on the foil in to a thin layer. Bake until barely sticky…. about 3 hrs.
Let baking sheet almost cool completely and peel off of the foil. The side that was down will be moist. Lay the moist side up and on baking sheet and return to oven for about 20 mins or until dry.
Lay the smoother side down on a sheet of wax paper and use kitchen scissors/shears to cut it into strips on the paper. Then roll the strips and store in a zip lock bag.
