My kids love the addition of fruit leather to their lunchbox or to have as an after school snack. I don’t see the need to add any sugar or further flavours, they are delicious just as simple pureed fruit. I use the oven to cook my fruit leathers, takes between 3-4 hours. Alternatively you could use a dehydrator.
