Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce can cranberry sauce* See notes for homemade equivalent
- 1 3/4 cups applesauce
- 2 teaspoons orange zest.
Instructions
- Add the cranberry sauce, applesauce and orange zest to a deeper mixing bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend until the cranberry sauce is completely incorporated into the applesauce. Alternately, you can use a blender or a food processor if you don’t have an immersion blender.
- Line a half-sheet-sized baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the cranberry sauce mixture onto the parchment paper and spread it out as evenly and smoothly as you can.
- Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for 6-8 hours or until a finger gently pressed into the fruit leather does not leave indentations
- . Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Using scissors, cut any extra parchment paper away from the fruit leather, and then cut the fruit leather into strips. You can leave the parchment paper on to help prevent the fruit leather from sticking together, or you can remove and roll into individual rolls.
Notes
*If you are using homemade cranberry sauce you will need 1 3/4 cups cranberry sauce
We like to store our homemade fruit leather in the fridge, though this does bring more moisture back into the fruit leather and makes it a bit stickier.
