Preparation

Step 1

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 8 hours Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes Yield: 8 slices
Mix all ingredients together, except cranberries or raisins.
Spread mixture on well oiled fruit leather sheets in dehydrator (I oil mine with coconut oil), or drop by the tablespoon to make “cookies”. If doing “cookies” leave about 1/2″ to 1″ between rounds.
Sprinkle cranberries or raisins on top of pumpkin mix, if desired.
Dry 8 to 24 hours at around 135°F (57°C).
Cut in squares or strips. Roll up if you like.
Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Refrigeration will extend shelf life, but properly dried fruit sealed in airtight containers should keep for months without refrigeration.
