Fruit Leather

[Guest guest]

Wow! What a MESS I made!! But a very colorful mess indeed!! Yikes! I

attempted to make fruit leathers and spread it out on Teflex sheets just as

the recipe called for. When they were done, I couldn't get it off the

sheets. I had to run them under hot water, and alas it all went down the

drain. Where did I go wrong?

They might not have been completely done; when I try to remove sticky material

from the teflex sheets, if I try to do it to early, they don't peel off. Also,

turning them face down, and using a small spatula to get under the edge, and

pulling the teflex sheet off by pulling up on the sheet, rather than the

leather, sometimes helps.

 

Peace,

Valerie

Thank you for the reply Valerie,

 

I literally would have had to scrape them off with a spatula. So instead of

taking a chance on ruining the teflex sheet I ran the hot water on them and

let them melt off. I am wondering though, if they were done. They

certainly looked done, but never having made them before, I couldn't be sure

I am going to contact Excalibur tomorrow, and double check with them. I

will feel a little silly, but I am determined to learn how to make fruit

leathers. If you find out anything more let me know, and I will do the same

Again, thank you for your reply.

You might not have made it thick enough. I made some banana leather and the

first

batch was thick and the second was some leftover which I spread out thinner.

The

second one I had to really shred it up to get it off.

Are there any people here who are primarily eat fruit and some nuts?

 

I've read that people have lost their teeth doing this. Is this a myth?

 

I naturally eat way more fruit than veg in my typical day. I do drink

carrot/celery/kale/beet/apple juice every few days.

 

I feel great and almost never get gas. I'm just curious why people

say eating too much fruit damages your teeth. Is it due to nutritional

deficiencies or too much sugar?

Thanks Kathy. I'm almost afraid to try another batch the first was so bad

to get off the sheets. And I did make it very thin. I have to admit though

it tasted good.
