1 Zone / 16 Tray / 28 sq. ft Tray Area
view- 4 cups sliced ripe strawberries
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- In a blender, combine the ingredients and blend until smooth, with an applesauce-like consistency.
- Pour the puree into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Let cool, then pour 1 cup of puree per leather into strips on a drying sheet set in a dehydrator tray. Slap the tray on the counter a couple times to level the liquid. Dehydrate at 125°F until the leathers easily peel off the drying sheet, 10 to 12 hours.
- Peel the leathers off the drying sheets and place them on the mesh rack of the dehydrator tray itself, then place back into the dehydrator for another 2 to 3 hours. Store as directed while warm .
- To rehydrate, combine one leather and 1 cup boiling water in a small heatproof bowl and let sit a few minutes. Pour into a blender and process until smooth. Enjoy warm or let cool completely.
