4cupsfresh or frozen strawberries(defrost if using frozen fruit)
½cuphoney(optional or ½ cup pitted dates or maple syrup)
2TBSPfresh lemon juice(or lime or orange juice)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F or use a dehydrator.
Puree the cooled cooked beets, strawberries, sweetener, and citrus juice in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats (safe at low temperatures).
Spread the fruit mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheets.
Place the fruit puree in the oven and cook until firm and no longer sticky to the touch, about 6 hours. You don’t want it to cook too long and get crispy though.
Remove the homemade strawberry fruit leather from the oven and let it cool.
Cut into strips and roll up with parchment paper.
Notes
Can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container for up to a week (refrigerator) or two months (freezer).
Use ½ cup extra strawberries if you don’t use beets.
