Step 1
Preheat oven to 150 F to 175 F (must be under 200 F). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a very flat piece of parchment paper. If you plan to roll up your fruit leather when it's done, use parchment paper as noted in the directions below.
Step 2
Using a blender or food processor, puree the fruit and honey until completely smooth. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out to form a thin rectangle using a spatula. Try to make it as even as possible; it can be a bit thicker on the edges since they'll dry out first. You may want to tap it on the counter a few times to even it out.
Step 3
Place in the oven for 6 to 8 hours, rotating the pan every hour or so. Remove from oven, when the center is no longer wet, sticky or tacky. It takes a long time to get there! Let it cool completely, then slice it into fruit leather strips using a knife or pizza cutter. This will keep in a sealed container for up to a week.
Step 4
To create fruit leather roll-ups: Use a pair of scissors to cut the parchment paper and fruit leather (together at the same time) into 8 long strips. Then roll each of them up. Transfer the entire fruit leather rectangle onto a large fitted piece of parchment paper or wax paper, cut (the fruit leather and paper) into strips and roll each of them up. The parchment paper will prevent the fruit leather from sticking to itself as you unravel and enjoy.
