Blackberries and blueberries are abundant and delicious in summer. Sadly, neither berry is a great candidate for drying on its own. They aren’t as deliciously chewy after drying as you might expect. When you’re confronted with a textural issue such as this with a particular dried fruit, consider making a fruit leather of it. This approach hastens the drying time and smooths out the textural issues. And by combining the two berries in this fruit leather, you get a deliciously chewy treat that’s as gorgeously midnight purple as a summer night sky.

Steps

1
Done

Line dehydrator trays with nonstick fruit-leather sheets.

2
Done

Combine the blackberries, blueberries, applesauce, honey, and lemon juice in a large food processor (or blender). Process into a smooth purée.

3
Done

Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread out the purée on the prepared trays, making the edges a little thicker than the center. Dry at 135°F [57°C] for 4 to 6 hours, until the mixture is leathery and dry to the touch on both sides. (You can speed up the process
by peeling the mixture off the nonstick sheet and turning it over after about 3 hours, though this is not necessary.) Run a spatula under the mixture to loosen it, and let cool completely.

4
Done

Peel the fruit leather off the nonstick sheet. Cut into single serving portions and roll up in plastic wrap or parchment paper. (If using parchment, tie or tape the roll to keep it together.)

5
Done

Store in an airtight container, preferably with a silica gel packet to extend freshness, in a dark
place at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
