STRAWBERRY LEATHER



Strawberry Leather image

From the 2008 Gourmet magazine with tons of strawberry recipes. This is super simple to make with only two ingredients and a great way to use strawberries in the summer months. It takes a little longer with the stove time but the effort is worth it and easy to make while multi-tasking! I've also had good results mixing blackberries and raspberries instead of strawberries.
