Ingredients:

12 ounces dried apricots, quartered
1 cup water
2 Tbsp honey
4 cardamom pods

Method:

1. In a small pot, simmer dried apricots with water, honey, and cardamom pods. Simmer about 20 minutes.

Apricots are quartered to allow flavors to mingle when simmered

Cardamom adds a subtle flavor

2. Carefully remove cardamom pods. Using an immersion blender, puree mixture. The mixture should be a bit thicker than applesauce.

Puree

3. Line a baking sheet with silpat (or microwave safe saran wrap). Pour apricot mixture over silpat about 3/8″ thick. Spread evenly.

Fruit is spread on silpat before going into the oven to dry

4. Place baking sheet in a warm oven for 6-8 hours, or until apricot leather is just tacky to the touch. Store, covered in a cool, dry place, refrigerate or freeze.

Fruit Leather should be “bendy” not brittle

Slice into strips if desired

Fruit Leather Made thin with jarred applesauceĀ (only took about 2 hours to dry out!)
