Ingredients

• 1 lb strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 2 Tbsp honey, sugar or agave syrup
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and puree well.
2. Pour on to a rimmed baking sheet or dehydrator sheet covered with silpat or plastic wrap. One cup typically coats an area 11" x 11".
3. Dry at 130-140 degrees F for 4-6 hours in a dehydrator or oven. My oven only goes down to 170, so if yours is similar, check and rotate the pan(s) every hour. It'll likely take less than four hours to finish.
4. Remove from heat when the center is set, but still tacky. Cool and dry for at least one hour before removing. You can eat immediately or pull off gently and place on to wax paper, roll up and cut with kitchen scissors.
