Cherry Leather
Wash and remove stems and stones from: 3 pounds (10 cups) ripe fresh cherries
Puree the cherries in a blender or food processor, along with:
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Heat the cherry puree in a medium saucepan just until boiling.
Put wax paper onto pans that you can dehydrate this in. Grease dehydrator trays with vegetable oil.
Pour the puree onto the trays in even 8-inch-diameter circles.
Dehydrate in your oven at 135 degrees for 7 to 10 hours, or until firm but leathery.
Roll up the leather while it is still warm; then cut each roll into 4 pieces. Let cool completely before storing in individual serving-sized bags. Kids love these and they are great for when you go hiking or camping. A good treat to have on hand.
