Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 " Won't the plastic melt? Is there a specific type of plastic that should be used? " It's probably one of those silicone sheets. They will not melt. Try Google for 'fruit leather+recipe+scd'.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Actually, it is just regular plastic wrap like Saran Wrap. I am the one who posted the recipe. It is from ZOOM kids (PBS show). They demonstrated making it on TV and the plastic wrap did not melt. Using the plastic wrap may not be the best thing if it leaches into the food. I'm not sure what could be used instead. When I have time, I'll experiment and see. I know that fruit leather can be made in a dehydrator as well.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hi , Before I had a dehydrator I made this type of recipe in the oven. I put large circles of smooth homemade applesauce (I pureed it in the blender) onto parchment paper and dried it in the oven. When it was finished I rolled them up, wrapped it in plastic wrap and stored them in the freezer -so my kids wouldn't eat them all at once Sheila 42 mos SCD, 21yrs UC mom of SCD 27 mos > I am looking at the dried fruit leather recipe on the pecanbread > website, and they say to cover the cookie pan with a plastic sheet > and put in the oven at 140.
