Yogurt Fruit Leather


Yogurt (plain or if using fruited kind, use the premixed version)
Fruit or jam


Puree yogurt and fruit. Line dehydrator sheets with plastic wrap. Place up to a carton worth of mixture on each sheet. Or in 3-4 inch circles for convienience. Dehydrate at the same temperature for fruit leather. Leather is done when it is not shiny or sticky when touched lightly, about 4-5 hours. Cut into portion size pieces, and stack or roll. Keep in a container in the fridge or a cool place once done.

*Healthy alternative to taffy, but just as satisfying!
*Once dried you can use cookie cutters to punch our shapes for holidays like hearts for valentines day.
*Get creative with fruits, and amounts of fruit pureed into it. Berries have a stronger flavor and color and will "go farther". Apple and pears will not go as far flavor wise.
*Label it "peaches and cream" or "strawberries and cream" leather, it tricks older kids to think they are even more appealing! He he!
