Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and place them in a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Add the fresh pineapple chunks, honey (if using), lemon zest, and lemon juice to the blender.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more honey or balance tartness with more lemon juice, if desired.

Step 5

Line the dehydrator trays with non-stick dehydrator sheets or parchment paper.

Step 6

Pour the blended fruit mixture onto the prepared trays and spread it evenly to about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness using a spatula.

Step 7

Set the dehydrator temperature to 135°F (57°C) and let the fruit leather dry for 6–8 hours, or until it's no longer tacky to the touch and peels away easily from the liner.

Step 8

Check on the fruit leather after 5 hours for doneness, as drying times may vary depending on humidity, thickness, and your dehydrator's efficiency.

Step 9

Once fully dried, remove the fruit leather from the dehydrator and allow it to cool completely.

Step 10

Cut the fruit leather into strips using scissors or a knife. Optionally, roll the strips up with parchment paper for easy storage.

Step 11

Store the fruit leather in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
