The ingredients may be a bit uncommon. . . . but the theory is the same, no matter what fruit you use, so make cherry leather. . . or orange leather. . . or. . . . well you get the idea.
PUREES, FRUIT LEATHERS & CHIPS: Fruit leathers are dried leathery sheets of pureed fruit. Fruit chips are made from crisp fruit leather that breaks easily. Both have tangy, concentrated fruit flavor that makes them a favorite snack for anyone, especially handy to pack in a lunch or rucksack. Much of the following information about making purees, fruit leathers and chips and the individual recipes are excerpted and adapted from University of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service Bulletin P-228, "Fruit Leather"
PUREE: Wash and cut about 1 quart of rhubarb into small 1/2" pieces. Put 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and add rhubarb. Cook only until rhubarb starts to soften. Let cool slightly; put in blender and make into puree. This should make about 2 cups of puree.
