Step 6
Spread the berry puree onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. It's best to use silicone-coated parchment paper, as the fruit leather will peel off more easily. You can dry the fruit leather in different ways: simply leave it in this form in open air, which will take about 3 days, or use the convection mode in the oven at 55–60°C until fully dried.
