Blueberry fruit leather | Allergy free

I'm a complete snack food junkie, so finding something healthy that is also portable
 can be a challenge sometimes. I stumbled across a recipe for fruit
 leather over at www.roostblog.com and decided to try and make my own.
 It was SO quick and simple, and I was really pleased with the outcome! 



Blueberry fruit leather:

Ingredients:

5 cups fresh or thawed-frozen blueberries


Blend blueberries in a blender or food processor. Empty mixture into sieve and strain out seeds.
Pour the strained blueberry mixture onto teflex sheets for your dehydrator, or onto a flat baking sheet lined with plastic wrap.
Dehydrate for 4-6 hours (or bake in the oven at it's lowest setting with the door ajar) until the texture is flexible and chewy.
Wrap in parchment paper and store in ziptop baggies.

This is a great snack to take on car trips, and the flavor possibilities are endless.
Try Strawberry/Raspberry/Mango/Peach/Banana or any other of your favorite fruit combinations.
