Show FRUIT LEATHER Mash ripe fruit (berries, cherries, figs, apricots, peaches and blue plums may be used) to a pulp, spread on lightly oiled platters and dry in the sun or dryer. When dry sprinkle with sugar and pack away in jars or very tight boxes lines with wax paper, Peaches or half and half peaches and figs make delicious delic-ious leather and need only a springing springi-ng of sugar. Serve this leather in winter win-ter instead of candy or with cream cheese and nuts for dessert. Fruit leather may bo soaked in water wat-er and used for pies, shortcakes, puddings pud-dings and sauces. When intended for this purpose, omit the sugar. |
