Grape Fruit Leather Recipes

GRAPE FRUIT LEATHER

Steps:

• Puree the grapes in a blender or food processor, in batches if necessary, until very smooth. Pour the puree into a fine sieve and press hard with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible. Puree the grapes again and put them back into the sieve. Press again and reserve the juice for another recipe. There should be about 2 cups of grape puree.
• Pour the puree into a small saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring often and scraping the sides, until the puree turns glossy and darkens slightly, about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200°F using convection mode if available. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with a silicon baking sheet. Pour the puree onto the mat and spread into an 1/8-inch thickness using an offset spatula, leaving a 1-inch border of space around the edge. Bake 1½ to 3 hours, rotating the tray halfway through, until the puree is tacky and not quite dried in the center. Let stand at room temperature until fruit leather peels easily from the tray, 24 hours to 48 hours.
• Place a piece of parchment paper over the fruit leather and invert. Peel off the silicon baking sheet and starting at the long end, roll up the fruit leather and parchment. Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut the fruit leather roll into 1-inch segments. Store in a resealable plastic bag for up to 1 week at room temperature or 2 to 3 months in the freezer.

GRAPE JUICE FRUIT LEATHER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150ºF (125ºF for convection ovens).
• Line two 14x10-inch (35x25 cm) rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper, making sure the paper is a little bit bigger than the pans.
• In a small saucepan, bring the blueberries and Welch's grape juice to a low boil.
• Add the lemon juice, stir, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until mixture thickens. Let cool slightly.
• Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Carefully remove the lid from the blender as contents will be hot.
• Pour the mixture evenly over the two parchment paper-lined sheet trays and use a rubber spatula to make sure it is spread evenly.
• Place the pans in the oven for 4-5 hours. The desired texture should be smooth to the touch and not sticky.
• Cool for 20 minutes. Cut into 2-inch (5 cm) strips, and roll up.
• Enjoy!
