I googled it just now, and several sites offer directions on how to do it. Here are the highlights --make sure you line your tray with a generous piece (it might shrink) of plastic wrap that's microwave safe (don't use wax paper), and spray it with cooking spray before adding your fruit. Then make sure none of the plastic is touching the oven or the top of the fruit. Bake it at 140 degrees for 8-12 hours. Another site recommended 150 degrees for 4-8 hours. It seems that the general theme is do it at a time when you can check on it periodically to make sure you're not crisping it! One site suggested that if you do overdo it a little, spritz it with water and let it stand for a few minutes to rehydrate. Hope that helps! Mellyn :) Hi Miriam,

I'd like to know how it goes. This is something I've never even attempted! Mellyn :) Hi Anne,

Would this work like that? How would you suggest doing that? I don’t have a dehydrator, but I have heard of doing leather in your oven. Would this work like that? How would you suggest doing that?

When I have tried to make fruit leather before it has ended up hard because I set the thing a goin' and forget to check it before the time is up, and it's crispy. About how thick is the liquid layer once it's poured in? Thanks!! What a great recipe!!
