Plum fruit leather....we finally tried to make some. Our yard is blessed with a very fruitful plum tree that produces far more than we can keep up with. Last year we attempted canning and made jam and syrup. So this year we are attempting the world of dried fruits. The process is really easy, it just takes a looooooooooong time. Basically we washed, pitted and cooked the fruit at 400 for 15-20 minutes. Then we put hem all into the blender and added a teeny bit of sugar. Gooey liquid should be the result, and this you pour into a prepared jelly roll pan (we just bought a Silpat to use and it is awesome!!). This pan is then put into an oven heated at its low setting of 150 for 6-8 hours. Ours seemed to take longer but it was it wasn't quite thinned properly. There were thicker areas then some making it cook a little unevenly. So making sure it's roughly flat and all even is pretty important. It turned out pretty yummy and was a fun way to use up plenty of plums!
