  • About

Use this recipe as a template for all kinds of fruit leathers - it works really well with strawberries, apricots and nectarines too. All it entails is making a thick, gloopy purée of fruit and sugar and then drying it out very slowly in the oven until you have a pliable leather as clear and vivid as a stained glass window.

Ingredients

  • A little groundnut oil for greasing the tins
  • 500 g fuchsia berries
  • 500

Method

Preheat the oven to 70°C/Gas ¼.

Line 2 baking sheets of about 24cm x 30cm with foil or several layers of clingfilm and lightly oil with groundnut oil.

Put the fuchsia berries, apples and lemon juice into a pan.
