Plum and Honey Fruit Leather | Healthy, Quick Snack | Homemade Fruit Roll Up

Plump, juicy, ruby red plums look desperately at customers walking by in the fruit section in the local grocery store. Yet, do not respond in fear of plum juice leaking down one's arm after every bite and staining every inch of clothing worn while eating one.

Equipment Needed:

• 1 silpat non-stick silicone costs approx. $15 and makes it possible to lift the fruit leather from the cookie sheet with ease. Silpat mats last a lifetime, and I use them to roast tomatoes and onions and peppers in the over to baking cookies and lately making Plum and Honey Fruit Leather 

What You'll Need:

• 4 cups plums (8 red plums) remove seeds and chop coarsely 
• 2 Tb. Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey 
• 1 Tb. lemon juice 
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon 

How to Prepare:

1. Place chopped plums on a baking sheet and bake at 350 Degrees for 15 minutes or until plums are soft.
2. Add cooked plums, Buzz Savory Artisanal Honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon to a food processor or blender and process into a smooth puree. 
3. Pour onto a silpat lined 12" x 18" cookie sheet that has a raised edge and spread out to 1/8-1/4 inch thick. 
4. Bake in a 150-170 Degree oven for 6-8 hours until the middle of the leather is no longer sticky. In my experience, the baking process has reached 10 hours. It is no bother to me though because I start and back 5-6 hours. Then turn off the oven until another convenient time arrives when I may Complete the baking. 
5. When the plum fruit leather cools, remove from the silpat and cut into ribbons and roll (with wax paper strips between layers of plum leather).
6. Keep in a closed container at room temperature.
