Ingredients:  
1 cup blueberry purée
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Directions:
Oven dry – Combine blueberry purée, applesauce and honey. Line a cookie sheet
with parchment paper. (I make 1 1/2 inch furrows by pinching the paper between the furrows.) Spread purée mixture evenly about ⅛ to ¼
inch thick in each furrow. Dry at 140ºF for 10 to 18 hours. (I use my counter-top oven like MOM's from Grandma Zimbo.) Test periodically for dryness.
The fruit leather is dry when it is pliable and peels easily off the paper.
Dehydrator – Lightly oil the plastic tray or spread the puree on parchment paper cut to fit the dryer racks. Dry at 140ºF for about 8 hours until evenly dry. It should have a leathery texture. While warm, peel from paper.

Allow to cool and rewrap the roll in plastic. Place the wrapped pieces in a heavy plastic bag or airtight storage container. Leather will keep up to one month in a cool, dry, dark place. For storage up to one year, place tightly wrapped rolls in the freezer.

Personal Notes:
Our blueberries were ripe a bit early this summer, so Jamie took Sarah picking when she was just a few days old. This baby is a true Alaskan, just like her mom!
