Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• ripe or slightly overripe produce

Directions:

To make fruit leather:
Select ripe or slightly overripe produce (combinations also if desired).
Wash, remove any blemishes, stems or pits and peal produce if desired.
(Skins are highly nutritious.) Puree the produce in a blender until
it is smooth.

Pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups of puree on to the parchment paper or plastic
wrap covered trays of dehydrator. Since the edges tend to dry more
rapidly, the poured puree should be 1/8″ thick at the center and 1/4″
thick at the edges. Place in the dehydrator with temperature set at
135. Average drying time for leathers is 4 to 6 hours. When the
leather has dried, it will be a bit shiny and non-sticky to the touch.
Allow the leather to cool and peel it from the tray. Roll it into a
tight cylindrical shape. A piece of plastic wrap, measured to fit
the length and widith, is then tightly wrapped around the leather.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 cup Cheerios
• 2 cup Wheat Chex
• 2 cup Rice Chex
• 2 cup Corn Chex
• 2 cup no-fat pretzel sticks
• 1/2 cup apple juice

• 1.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions:

1. Combine dry cereals to make 9 cups and add pretzel sticks.

2. Combine apple juice, vegan Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Brush
1/2 of the liquid on the cereals and toss.

3. Microwave 3 minutes on high. Stir and brush on 1/4 of the liquid.
– Alternately, oven bake 15-20 minutes at 300 degrees.

4. Oven bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. At 15 minutes, stir and
apply the remaining liquid. Cook the remianing 15 minutes or
until the mix is the shade you prefer….

5. Remove and let cool. Serve and enjoy.

No idea of calories…. but for some reason it still serves 8…

Notes:

The microwave did not make the mix as crunchy as I like, but it does
do a thorough job of cooking the mix without the problem of the
mix sticking together so badly the first cycle, as happens when you
use the oven.

This was a big hit at my house. No one seemed to mind the fact that
this mix had NO butter in it. Since I am the only one in the family
actively persuing a VLF lifestyle, I consider this a major
accomplishment!!

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• Puree 1 quart of berries.
• Add 1/4 cup vegan sugar

Directions:

Just heat through on the stovetop. Strain through cheesecloth to remove
seeds.

Dehydrate in a dehydrator or in oven. To dry in an oven just set temp
at lowest possible setting –about 140 degress would be good. Dry
until fruit feels leather like ;yet pliable. This would probably best
be done on parchment paper, Remove the leather while it is still warm
and roll it up.
