Fruit Leather Ingredients: 1 cup strawberry purée (see note) Juice of 1/2 lemon, strained 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup powdered pectin Instructions: Combine strawberry purée and lemon juice in small, non-reactive, heavy-bottomed saucepan, and place over medium-high heat. Combine sugar and pectin and add to purée. Whisk well to combine. Allow mixture to come to a boil while whisking constantly. Continue to boil 3 minutes. Remove mixture from heat, and pour onto a 16-by-24-inch sheet of parchment paper lightly sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Use large spatula to spread the mixture evenly over the parchment paper. When spread it will be quite thin. You should almost be able to see through the fruit leather. Set aside to cool. It cools very quickly and develops a skin. Roll up the strawberry sheet, peeling off the parchment paper as you roll. Makes 4 servings. Note: To make 1 cup of strawberry purée, place 2 cups trimmed, chopped strawberries in a food processor or blender. Process to a fine purée. Press through strainer, and remove any large pieces.
