Apricot Leather
4-5 cups apricot puree
2 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar (more or less depending on how you like it)
1/4 cup honey
Blend ingredients until smooth.
Spray three large rimmed cookie sheets with PAM. Divide apricot mixture evenly among them, and tilt pans to coat. Place in oven at 170 degrees (low) for 8 hours (overnight.) These are usually ready in the morning, but if still sticky, cook until dried. Peel off pan and cut. I get 8 'fruit roll-ups' out of each pan.
*A note on apricot preparation:
Apricots are easy. Wash them. Cut in half, discard the seed. Put them in the blender. I don't measure the puree anymore. . .I usually just fill my blender, add the other ingredients and mix it all down. Voila! Easy peasy. Now just be patient while it cooks, and try not to eat it all before you wrap it. Wrap in plastic wrap and save in canning jars. We've had ours last 6 months and still be good.
