Date: February 10, 2008 11:24PM Fruit leather isn't hard to make raw. Just blend your fruit up, and lay out the mash on sheets in the dehydrator. The only really challenging thing is deciding what to spread the mash on. The ideal thing would be some kind of flexible teflex or silicone sheets with ridged edges to keep really liquidy mash from running off the sides while it's still damp. I don't have any with raised edges, so I have to be careful about that. I don't recommend making fruit leather in a pan that isn't flexible, because you'll have difficulty getting it off the bottom when done (I guess you could line with wax or parchment paper - I haven't tried it).
If you juice fruit you could dehydrate the leftover pulp, but it won't be as flavorful because so much flavor will have escaped with the juice. Re: dried fruit

Date: February 12, 2008 08:00AM i dont know why i didnt think that nutrients would be lost when fruit is dehydrated. maybe my idea of fruit leathers will be a special treat when i make sure to consume all daily nutrients and vitamins thorugh fresh fruits and veggies Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
