Since y’all love my last fruit leather post so much, I thought I’d make another one for you that is in season!
Here goes, get your pumpkins ready.
Here’s what you will need: one 15-oz can of pumpkin, canned coconut milk, unsweetened applesauce, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground black pepper, nutmeg, and coconut oil.
In a blender, add your applesauce…
coconut oil…
honey…
coconut milk…
black pepper…
ground ginger…
cinnamon…
nutmeg and cloves.
Just like this!
Blend the mixture until supah smooth.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for some “brightness.”
Pour your leather mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Spread evenly.
Bake in an oven preheated at 170 degrees F for about 6-8 hours on a convection setting. If you don’t have a convection setting it will take longer. If your oven temperature won’t go as low as 170 degrees F then set it as low as it will go and prop the oven door open slightly.
Allow leather to cool completely before cutting into strips.
Brush your leather with a bit of corn starch to keep it from sticking.
You can either roll the strips like so, or…
Beautify your masterpiece by including the cut paper when you make the roll-up, and then tie securely with pretty twine.
Put ’em in a box and share them with friends!
You’ll love this one guys + gals, ’tis the season to celebrate pumpkin!

- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions

- Puree on high until smooth.

Oh yeah! Pumpkin pie in the blind for sure. You’ve got your protein (jerky), fruit (apple) and dessert an entire banquet table in the pocket.

This is something I plan to try.
Question: would this turn out if I were to use a dehydrator instead of the oven?
Thanks,
Cecilia

Where does the black pepper come into this recipe?

How long will this keep? Will this mold if not eaten Soon? If so is there anything I could add in to keep it from molding?
Thanks
