 The ingredients may be a bit uncommon....but the theory is the same,
no
 matter what fruit you use, so make cherry leather...or orange
 leather...or....well you get the idea.

 PUREES, FRUIT LEATHERS & CHIPS: Fruit leathers are dried leathery
sheets of
 pureed fruit. Fruit chips are made from crisp fruit leather that
breaks
 easily. Both have tangy, concentrated fruit flavor that makes them a
 favorite snack for anyone, especially handy to pack in a lunch or
rucksack.
 Much of the following information about making purees, fruit leathers
and
 chips and the individual recipes are excerpted and adapted from
University
 of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service Bulletin P-228, "Fruit
Leather"

 PUREE: To make berry purees, rinse berries, drain, put in a blender
and
 blend until the consistency of thick puree. Most berries do not need
to be
 cooked. Salmonberries and highbush cranberries have larger seeds and
should
 be put through a sieve after blending to remove seeds.
