Strawberry Leather


I read the other day that another blogger has a problem with too many strawberries ripening in the garden. This is not a problem we have, as we just eat them, jam them or freeze them. However, if you really do have too many strawberries fruit leather can be a great way of preserving them.

1 1/2 lbs strawberries hulled
3/4 cup sugar

Puree the strawberries and sugar in a blender than put the mixture into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Then simmer on a low heat for between 45 minutes and 1 hour until you have a very thick mixture. Pour out onto a non-stick liner in a baking  tray and bake at 200F for 2 - 3 hours. The result should be just a bit sticky but not sticking to your fingers. Leave on the baking tray to dry in a cool place for 24 hours than roll up on parchment paper and keep to enjoy for up to 1 month.

Delicious !
