Looking for a delicious after school snack for your kids or simply something to munch on that will satisfy your sweet tooth without giving it a cavity? We’ve got just the thing!

  • 3 tablespoons of sugar

Equipment:

  • Large cookie sheet

  • Silpat or parchment paper

  • Offset spatula

  • Decorative parchment paper

  • Butcher twine

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and line the baking sheet with a silpat.
2. Combine the berries and sugar in a pot on the stove and simmer10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
3. Blend the berries in a food processor until completely smooth. 
4. Spread the berry puree thinly on the silpat using an offset spatula.

5. Bake for 4-5 hours until completely dehydrated and no longer tacky to the touch. 
6. Peel your leather off the silpat and lay it on a sheet of decorative parchment.

7. Cut long strips, roll them up and tie them with butcher twine. Delicious!
