Why is the fruit leather still sticky even after a long drying time?

Most often because the purée is too watery, the layer is too thick, or it was checked too early while still warm.

When is the fruit leather ready?

When the sheet is flexible, not wet in the center, and lifts off cleanly without smearing.

Important for safety

•Do not make the layer thicker than necessary: fruit leather almost always suffers from excess moisture in the center.
•For juicy berries, add an apple or banana base right away if you want a flexible sheet rather than a sticky one.
•Check for doneness only after cooling: a warm sheet always seems wetter than it really is.
