Strawberry Leather

"From the 2008 Gourmet magazine with tons of strawberry recipes. This is super simple to make with only two ingredients and a great way to use strawberries in the summer months. It takes a little longer with the stove time but the effort is worth it and easy to make while multi-tasking! I've also had good results mixing blackberries and raspberries instead of strawberries."

directions

  • Purée strawberries with sugar in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heavy saucepan.
  • Bring purée to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally (more frequently toward end), until thick enough to mound slightly and reduced to 1 to 11/4 cups, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 200°F with rack in middle. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner.
  • Pour hot purée onto liner and spread thinly (as evenly as possible) into a 15- by 10-inch rectangle using spatula. Dry purée in oven until it feels drier (it shouldn't stick to your fingers) but is still slightly tacky, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Cool on liner on a rack until completely dry, at least 3 hours and up to 24.
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper over leather, then peel leather off liner and roll up in parchment.

<p>I'm a pretty busy gal. I've got a wonderful husband and two little girls. We share our home with wonderful dogs, two Weimaraners, a Boxer and a French Bulldog. I work full-time outside of the home and then come home to tons of hobbies, one of them being cooking. <br />I love baking and really want to get better at it. I'm also hoping to get more organized during dinner time so I'm not at a loss when it gets to be dinner time. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
