Pumpkin Leather

2 cups canned pumpkin or 2 cups fresh pumpkin, cooked and puréed

1/2 cup honey

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon powdered cloves

 

Blend ingredients well. Spread on tray or cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap. Dry at 140ºF.

 

 

OOTO note: We very lightly apply cooking oil (wipe excess off with paper towel) to our dehydrator's fruit roll trays before putting the mixture on it.

You can sometimes use parchment paper alone and forego the cooking oil depending on fruit

I haven't made fruit rollups in a few years. But made it for the grandkids when they were young.  Gee what happened. Oldest grandchild from my DD is almost 32 years old, the middle one is 27 and the youngest is almost 22.  Then the 2 step grandchildren are 40 and 33 years old. Now I am starting over with great grandkids. Middle GS is the first and they are already talking about a second. They want the kids to be close in age and she is now 27 and said they need to hurry up with having kids. Maybe when they are old enough to eat fruit rollups, I will start making it again.  The pumpkin one sounds good. I don't remember if I ever made the pumpkin or not. But don't think so.

If you keep dehydrating past the leather stage, until it goes glassy, you can make powder.  Be careful of busting it up, though, as the glassy shards are sharp.
