    Raspberry Peach Fruit Leather (Without a Dehydrator!)

    Published: Sep 14, 2018 · by Nicole · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Who doesn't love fruit leather? Still, those little single packages that they sell at the grocery store are expensive. But making it at home can be expensive, too, because almost all of the recipes call for an expensive food dehydrator. There has to be a better and less expensive way, right?

    Yes, in fact, there is! It is possible to make fruit leather at home without a food dehydrator. You can use your oven. You may be a little bit worried, as there are recipes out there saying it takes up 18 hours to make fruit leather in an oven, but we found that it took a little bit under 5 hours. Not too bad! Just cut the fruit leather into strips comparable in size to the kind sold in stores and you get about 16 of them – and at $4 for fruit for this recipe, that's a big savings over what you would have paid for fruit leather at the grocery store.

    Ingredients

    • cooking spray or oil mister
    • 2 ripe peaches pitted and cut into large chunks
    • 6 oz. raspberries
    • 1 tbsp. agave nectar or honey more if the peaches or raspberries are on the tart side
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
    • Add all ingredients to food processor or blender and process until smooth. For seedless fruit leather, strain mixture through sieve. (I happen to love raspberry seeds!)
    • Spread fruit evenly (this is really important!) onto baking sheet. Bake until fruit leather is dry, but still flexible. This is about 5 hours in my oven, but the cook time can vary, so keep an eye on your fruit leather as it cooks. Allow to cool and cut into strips using a pizza cutter or kitchen shears. Wrap each piece in wax paper and store in an airtight container or zip-top bag.

      Hmm...No kidding. That really worked?! I've been wanting to try this myself. A friend of mine said she tried & after 12 hours her fruit leather still wasn't leather! Maybe I'll give it a whirl.

        What fruit did your friend use? I noticed that some people used applesauce in their fruit leather and I think that maybe that's the reason some people are saying it took up to 18 hours in the oven--applesauce can be kind of soupy. I'm going to experiment with different fruits and see if there's any difference in cooking time...

          She may have used applesauce. I'll be passing along your recipe link to her, I'm sure she'll give it a try. Unless she's too scared from the last fiasco!

          Also, I wanted to thank you for linking up with my FIRST Whip it Up Wednesday party, too. Hope to see you again next week.

        Oh, I want fruit trees too! I'm thinking next summer we might plant one or two. I bet you can grow some pretty exotic fruit in Hawaii--seriously, if I had a mango tree, I would be the happiest person in the world. 🙂

        We had a food dehydrator when I was a kid (I think it was on sale at Kohl's and I had seen all the Ronco commercials and insisted that my mom buy it) and it was kind of a PITA and I don't think we used it that much. The oven is so much easier!

        I love Archer Farms fruit leather too! I like that they sell it in boxes--it seems like all the other supermarkets only sell it in single strips. But now that I know I can make it myself, I'll probably just keep doing that. 🙂

          Have you ever tried making it with frozen fruit or does it not turn out the same as fresh fruit?

            You know, I was just wondering about that the other day. I might try it and see. I have a feeling it would work, but it may take longer because there's extra moisture in frozen fruit. And I think fruit that comes in chunks, like mangoes or peaches, would work better than raspberries or strawberries.

              I just made banana leather using frozen bananas and it took 3 hours - edges done first so I had to trim then put the center back in to finish.

      I love this idea and have been meaning to try it! This is just the time, too, with the kiddos heading off to school. By which I mean: if they are out of the house, I will have the fruit leather all to myself! Yum.

        It's Fahrenheit. 🙂 It needs to cook slowly so it doesn't burn!

      Can you bake these in the oven on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking or will that affect the cooking?

      They look great, and peach and raspberry, that sounds delicious. If you want to try a dehydrator, check thrift stores. I got mine at Goodwill for 5 dollars, and I regularly see some there, at anywhere from 5 to 15 dollars.
