SERVES: 18
PREP: 10 mins
COOK: 6-8 hours
EQUIPMENT: High-speed blender
INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ cups (240g) strawberries, rinsed and tops removed
1 ½ cups (300g) mango, peeled and pitted
2 tbsp (26g) chia seeds
2 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
METHOD:
Preheat your oven to 60°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper or a silicone mat.
In a blender, puree the strawberries with the chia seeds and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the pureed strawberry mix onto the prepared pan and use a spatula to evenly spread the fruit out so that it is about 3-4mm thickness, without any holes.
Repeat with the mango. Puree with chia seeds and lemon juice, then spread onto the second baking tray.
Place both trays with the fruit mixes into the oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until set and no longer sticky to the touch. The cooking time will depend on the fruit's moisture content and the temperature of your oven. After 6 hours in the oven, check every 30 mins and remove from the oven when the fruit leather is no longer sticky to the touch.
Once set, remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool fully.
Cut the cooled fruit leather into 2cm strips using kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter and peel away from the pan. Roll the fruit leather up with a strip of craft paper or parchment paper, and secure with tape or a sticker.
STORING LEFTOVERS: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
