Why it happens

Check the fruit leather only after cooling: it should be flexible, but not wet, and should not leave residue on your fingers.
Important - 2
Separate a texture issue from spoilage
If there is no mold, off smell, or fermented taste, this is usually a drying problem rather than a safety issue.
- 3
Write down conclusions for the next batch
Layer thickness, puree composition, drying temperature, and drying time help identify the real cause much faster than repeating the recipe by guesswork.
