Mango Fruit Leather
This no-sugar-added fruit snack is a healthy treat kids and adults will both love. It's perfect for packing in a lunchbox for school or work or just enjoying as a snack or better-for-you dessert at home.
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe mangoes peeled and flesh cut away from the pit
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat.
- Puree mangoes, water and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, partially covered, until reduced to about 2 cups puree, about 20 minutes.
- Pour the puree onto the prepared baking sheet. With a rubber spatula, very evenly spread into a thin rectangle, no thicker than 1/8 inch thick.
- Bake until dry to the touch, 4 to 6 hours. Let cool completely.
- Transfer the fruit leather to a piece of parchment paper (or wax paper) about the same size. Leaving the parchment underneath, roll the fruit leather closed into a long cylinder. Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut into 2-inch wide strips.
Notes
To make ahead: Store airtight for up to 1 week.
