I made plum and wild Oregon grape fruit leather, along with wild blackberry syrup and fruit leather to give to all my friends and family and for hiking.. It was overly delicious so most people never got this as a holiday gift! Both eating fresh, making jams, jellies and fruit leathers with wild berries is super fun and a special holiday gift when turned into fruit leather!
Using the ingredients from the place that you live is very vitalizing! I once made an entire dinner out of different seaweeds…seaweed salsa, seaweed crepes with shrimp and seaweed chocolate cake!

I use parchment paper and it works great.
Thanks for the recipe!
I am using up some dried figs I got from Costco. I already have put the figs in some water , softened them on the stove, puréed them and gave them a whirl through the food mill. Seeds, not fond of that many all at once.
Doing the same with some frozen raspberries.
Then I’ll put them together in a pot with the rest of the ingredients, to taste. Bring them to a boil and simmer until they hold their shape, then spread out on parchment paper and put them in my dehydrator.
Dehydrate at about 120 degrees for 8-10 hours or until they are dry and slightly sticky.
If I think of it I’ll let you know how it turns out.

In reply to Matthew. That sounds like a great alternative when the fruit you need in not in season. I can imagine that the dried figs might impart an even stronger flavor than fresh ones. We will have to try that out. Thanks for sharing Matthew!

Thanks for the creative recipe! I am not fortunate enough to have a fig tree in my backyard so I bought dried figs and reconstituted them instead. Have you guys ever tried that? It seemed to come out great although next time I’d like to try fresh fruit to compare. I got my figs from Bella Viva Orchards because they are a local, organic and sustainable grower/producer:

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah, I do think parchment paper would work, but I've never tried it so I can't say for sure. Please let us know if you try it!

These sound delicious and a great way to use up a lot of figs from our tree! I don’t have a silicone mat and would rather not put plastic wrap in the oven. Do you think parchment paper would work if I hang it over the edge of the pan slightly? Thanks for the recipe and your input.
