Fruit Leather

1 gallon ziplock bag of frozen chopped plums w/o the pits (about 16 cups)
1 can of pineapple

Put pineapple and juice in blender and puree till all smooth. Then add a few cups of plums to the blender, blend till smooth. Then add the blender puree to the pan of plums and stir.

I boil all the liquid so some of the juices boil out and it condenses/reduces the amount of pureed fruit, making it more thick. I boil at least a 1/2 hour and make sure you are stirring every 5 min or so b/c it sticks and burns to the bottom of the pan if you don't.

In a food dehydrator lay a (cut open) grocery sack on the food tray, so the pureed fruit wont leak through.

I filled 4 food trays with the puree and set the dehydrator at 140 degrees, then dehydrated for about 10 hours.  It was still soft, chewy, and so delicious.

I have used apricots and pineapple before and that works out really well.
