LOOK MOM, NO PRESERVATIVES!!! You have to watch this very carefully when you are microwaving it, as it will burn very easily. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 fresh peaches, nectarines or 3 plums
4 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • In blender or food processor, blend fruit and sugar until smooth.
  • Pour fruit puree into microwave-safe bowl and cook on HIGH 8 minutes or until puree is reduced by half.
  • Lay a piece of microwave-safe plastic wrap on a 10-inch microwave-safe plate.
  • Evenly spread 1/4 cup fruit mixture to a 6-1/2 inch diameter circle.
  • Make sure edges are not too thin or they will scorch.
  • Elevate plate on top of inverted (upside-down) microwave-safe saucer.
  • Microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) about 5 minutes or until leather is no longer sticky in center.
  • If more cooking time is needed, cook at MEDIUM in 25 second increments, watching closely so that leather does not burn.
  • Carefully place plastic wrap with fruit leather on wire rack to cool.
  • Let stand at room temperature overnight to dry.
  • Repeat with remaining fruit puree.
