Portable Pumpkin Pie Aka Pumpkin Leather
Ingredients:
2 cups (one 16-ounce can) pumpkin
1 cup canned evaporated milk or coconut milk
2 cups applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup dried shredded coconut, unsweetened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons finely chopped dried cranberries or raisins
Instructions:
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Spread mixture on well oiled fruit leather sheets in dehydrator, or drop by the tablespoon to make “cookies”. If doing “cookies” leave about 1/2″ to 1″ between rounds.
3. Dry 8 to 24 hours at around 135 F. I loaded mine at night and unloaded it the next morning.
4. Cut in squares or strips. Roll up if you like. The coconut will make this recipe less sticky than some other fruit leathers.
5. To Store: Stack sheets of fruit or vegetable leathers on top of each other.
If desired, and this is optional, you can sprinkle the finished sheets with cornstarch or arrowroot to prevent them from sticking together. Roll up, wrap securely in plastic wrap, and put them in an airtight container.
