What are fruit leather sheets?
It is an easy way to add fruit to a lunch or snack. They are made by pouring pureed fruit on a drying rack and dried in a commercial dehydrator or oven. They are very much like the commercial fruit roll ups and dried fruit sheets, but with less sugar and a truer taste of fruit.
What can I use instead of dehydrator sheets?
Parchment Paper

Plastic wrap contains the juices, preserving flavor and preventing a sticky mess from forming in the bottom of the dehydrator.
