My wife has made fruit leather for several years using a mixture of fruits from my garden and allotment and although it is not to my taste, she and my grandchildren love it. Good to see these old skills still being used.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Deifnately, there's so much knowledge that's being lost

[@joanpulley9722]

That was great I will try that thank you : )

[@lisalightfoot1344]

Monty, you are such a wonderful source of information. How fantastic to see a tradition kept going, it looks delicious I can only imagine what it tastes like. I used to give my daughter pure fruit wraps as a child unfortunately they are now loaded with rubbish. You could be onto a big side line business there as we all look for better ways to eat and preserve. Thanks for this.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

thanks Lisa, it's a really nice way of getting the kids into fruit,

[@norfolkandgoodroadtoselfsu447]

NIce idea, might give it a go.

[@msnessa3021]

A great recipe!

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Thanks a lot

[@akhtarnasuha]

i never knew about this until now. tq..barakallah..

[@MyFamilyGarden]

It's really good especially in hot climates as it dries faster

[@BreatheRC]

Nice one , great video as always , many thanks I'm going to give that go.👍👍👍

[@MyFamilyGarden]

nice one, good luck

[@gypsygem9395]

Thank you Montin! My neighbour gives me loads of cooking apples every year, I made some cider vinegar with them once. This would be a great use of them too!

[@MyFamilyGarden]

It's a great way of storing them for te rest of the year

[@wendyfleming-smith369]

I’d love to see the basket your mum used to do this

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Unfortunately we don't have one in the UK

[@lizdovey2388]

That looks great! I'm going to give it a go. Never thought of having savoury fruit leathers

[@MyFamilyGarden]

They end up being a sort of sweet and sour

[@vimalars7481]

Mix the pulp of tangy fruit in addition to pulp of other fruits and prepare mixed fruit leather. If you are recuperating or your feels insipid add tiny thin strings of leather to your vegetable, fruit salad or stir fry with vegetables. Yum. Kids and adults will have a swipe craving for more. Enjoy cooking 😋.

[@susanprasad4794]

Very useful info Apples can be preserved using this method Thank you 😊

[@MyFamilyGarden]

It makes for great snacking throughout the year

[@monaraahmed7193]

👍👍👍

[@Apricotblossom5555]

This is awesome information mashaAllah! Excited to try it with my fruits!

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Jazakallah khair, it's a really tasty snak to pick at any time

[@maniislam7541]

One of my favourite snacks!

[@christophermiller8386]

Excellent work that man and as always a joy to watch your show and tell - ps top camera work to your handy helper

She's the best

[@53peace]

This is an amazing and simple recipe! I had no idea that we could preserve apples this way. It must taste delicious. I will definitely use this recipe in future especially if it works for other fruits as well. Kids like chewy and sweet stuff and we can give these instead of chocolate or candies. Thank you so much for sharing this very useful idea!

[@MyFamilyGarden]

It works well wit most fruit, some of the more watery ones may need reducing down a little more so the leather dries easier. the kids love it too

[@nazmabibi7036]

I love this. I didn't know you can make it with apples. I will make it next year. In Sha Allah as I don't have many apples on my tree this year.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

You can make this with almost any fruit Alhamdulillah

[@hani786ish]

I’ve made it with berries 👍🏻

[@JensGardenAdventures]

Fab Monti! Will have to write this down to try although with the rain we get in Wales, I might need to find somewhere else to dry it 😂 Jen

[@MyFamilyGarden]

You can always try putting it in the oven after you've cooked something

[@JensGardenAdventures]

@@MyFamilyGarden oh that could work

[@traceysallotment2506]

Great recipe! Thank you. I have a dehydrator machine which is quite useful but what a fantastic technique and the results look amazing 🤩

[@justine2488]

Usually just make apple sauce with leftover apples. Will definitely try this. Thanks

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Hope you enjoy

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

Yummy!

[@TuftyMcTavish]

🍏 Ohhhh, that’s a new one on me! Wasn’t sure what you meant by 'leather' until the very end of the video when it all made sense. Do you worry about flies and insects while it’s outside drying in the sun?

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Flies can be a bit of a nuisance but we've not had a massive problem with them, alternatively you can dry it on a low heat in the oven

[@rosehart341]

Mothin, I've got a fantastic apple corer - bit terrifying watching you cutting the cores out, I was hoping you weren't going to slip with that big knife! Fruit leathers are really good for kids to chew on.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

I grew up working in kitchens, definatley they make a great snack

[@shairakhanam7799]

I'll try this recipe with mangoes, never knew how to make soti I think it's called in Bangladesh. Thank you...I suppose I'll try it with cooking apple first as I inherited a apple tree in my new plot. Thanks brother.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Yes it's called sotti, it's worth making with any spare fruit you have

[@adesinaamaka4894]

Pls how do you keep flies away while sun drying

[@swearick]

An hand crank apple corer and peeler would make this so fast lol

[@ديمةب]

Can you do away with all the extra add-ins of spices and molasses and only use the apple puree ?

[@MyFamilyGarden]

you can add or remove what you like, it's personal taste, but it won't be our recipe

[@blustardave]

I have a load of apples spare this year so I might give this a go..Just one quick question..What makes it set? Is it the mollasses, and do I need to add the spices or can I just use apples? Crack on dude :)

[@MyFamilyGarden]

The loss of water makes it set, you don't need to add the spices a pinch of salt will aid in the preservation

[@blustardave]

@@MyFamilyGarden Nice one. I'm on it like a car bonnet :)

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

Hi. This looks brilliant..what do you use the apple leather for. How do you eat it.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

it's a really nice snack to just pick at anytime, te kids enjoy it too

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

@@MyFamilyGarden Thankyou. I'm going to try it.

[@joolsner]

We call them soti .

[@ديمةب]

Why do my sun-dried fruit leather tend to stick really hard to the metal tray and don't peel off clean in one piece ?

[@MyFamilyGarden]

apply more oil when on the tray before you spread the pulp

[@Tulip879]

What can be used instead of Date molasses? I doubt where I live i get that.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Brown sugar, treacle, syrup

[@glyncaemawr6957]

Going to try this….does it work with cooking apples too, do you know?

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Works well with most fruit, you might need a bit more molasses to balance out the tartness of cooking apples

[@benrevell]

Could I use honey instead of molasses?

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Yes you can, I meant to mention that in the video, brown sugar can also be used
