Strawberry Basil Fruit Leather
- 1-1/2 pound Whole Strawberries, Washed And Hulled
- 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree for 1 minute until smooth. (If you don't have a food processor you can finely chop the basil and add everything into a saucepan and cook for 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat until the strawberries are soft. Then remove from heat and mash until smooth with a potato masher.)
- Assuming you went the food processor route, pour the puree into a pot or saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture becomes a little thicker.
- Line a 17"x 11" baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the puree onto it. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, leaving a half inch of parchment paper uncovered on all sides.
- Place in a 170u0b0F oven for 6 hours (or 120u0b0F for 8 to 10 hours) until the puree is shiny and no longer wet and sticky. Allow to cool.
- Once cool, remove from the pan with the paper intact. Roll tightly and cut into sections with a sharp knife. Store in a plastic bag or air-tight container in the pantry for up to 3 months.
