Tie-Dye Mango Strawberry Fruit Leathers

Step 1

Thaw the frozen fruit.

Step 2

Place the mangoes (and any accumulated juices), lemon juice, and sugar (optional) into a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer into a bowl and set aside. Wipeout or rinse the food processor bowl.

Step 3

Place the strawberries (and any accumulated juices) into a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer into a bowl.

Step 4

Lightly oil a dehydrator fruit leather tray and pour enough mango puree to create a ⅛” thick layer (exact amount will depend on the size of your dehydrator trays). Using an offset spatula is helpful in evening out the mixture.

Step 5

Pour strawberry puree on top of the mango puree. If your trays are circle, pouring it in a circle in the middle of the tray works best. If your trays are rectangular or square, pour in straight horizontal lines. Using a fork, swirl the strawberry into the mango to create designs.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining trays/puree.

Step 7

Dehydrate at 135F for 6-10 hours, checking periodically after 4 hours to monitor progress. The leathers are done when the fruit is no longer soft or sticky, but is not yet brittle.

Step 8

Remove leathers from the trays, cut, and roll for storage. Store in an airtight container.
