• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 4 cups strawberries, chopped
• 1 cup honey
• 1/8 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)

Recipe

• 1 line 3 half-sheet pans (11.5" x 16.5", with sides), with freezer paper, shiny-side up. spray the freezer paper with vegetable oil spray (pam).

• 9 shake the pan back and forth gently to make an even thickness from edge to edge; and off-set spatula can also be helpful here.
• 10 make sure the layer of puree is as even as possible so it will dry evenly.

• 16 turn off the oven and return the "flipped" leather to the oven, with door ajar, for another 1 or 2 hours to complete the drying.
• 17 peel the leather off the paper and place on a large cooling rack and let air dry for 2 to 4 hours.
• 18 your kitchen's humidity will really determine the drying times.
• 19 lightly dust with cornstarch, if desired, to reduce any remaining stickiness.
• 20 cut into serving-sized squares and roll up in plastic.
• 21 you can also roll the whole sheet of leather into one large piece of plastic wrap and store it that way; cut it or "rip" it when ready to eat.
• 22 store in a cool dry place, or in the fridge or freezer.
