Homemade Fruit Leather

Leather.  Definitely doesn't sound like something you would use to describe a yummy and healthy snack right?  Well... I guess in this case you would.  You can buy Fruit Leathers in stores, but I find that they can be pretty pricey :(  But they are so delicious and pretty healthy for the kids.  One strip has half of the fruits they need for the day... not bad.  And I don't think that there is any added sugar, just the natural sugar from the fruit.

Well, I gotta love me some Pinterest, and I found a recipe that we could make our own!  Score!  So... since the weather is turning colder and it's OK to have the oven on for a few hours, I thought now would be a great time to try.  It was a big success.  :)  Made the place smell delicious and the kids (and husband) loved it.  Will have to make a bigger batch next time.
