Ingredients for Peach Fruit Leather
Peaches: the best peaches for fruit leather are very ripe, soft, and sweet. If you get them from a you-pick, the easiest to use are the freestone peaches. Freestone means that the flesh of the peach separates easily from the pit.
Honey: Unlike corn syrup, honey is a natural syrup sweetener. It adds pliability to this recipe.
Lemon Juice: Fresh is best but canned lemon juice also works in this recipe. It adds a little tang and helps retain the color.
Cornstarch: Make sure to use organic cornstarch if you want a no genetically modified ingredients in the fruit leather. Cornstarch helps to bind the ingredients and improve flexibility.
Tips
- Use very ripe peaches
- Don’t over dry, or you’ll get peach puree chips
- If you don’t dry it enough, it will be soft and sticky
- Some tackiness from the sugar is normal but if you feel any additional moisture, keep drying
Storage
The best way to store peach fruit leather is on parchment paper, then roll it tightly and tie with twine. Store in an airtight container for up to one year. It can be stored longer but the quality will diminish after about a year. Keep out of light if possible.
