making fruit leather help?

[Guest guest]

i recently purchased a l'equipe dehydrator, and im trying to make

fruit leather and carrot crisps with it. my first attempt at making

fruit leather in it has failed, im cooking at 140F, but the outside is

going very hard and crisp and the inside is staying soggy, if i wait

until the middle is dry - its almost impossible to peel away from the

sheets and has come off in very dry thin bits, help i really want to

make this work - would it be better to use greaseproof paper instead

of the plastic trays that come with the dehydrator, ive made it in the

oven but as i do so much other cooking id like to try and use the

dehydrator instead of taking up my oven time.

thanks so much for any input

>Emma,

I have a different kind of dehydrator but I usually spread the fruit

pretty thin, where you can see through it. Before I put the fruit on I

use an SCD legal oil and thinly coat the sheet. The less water in the

fruit the quicker it dries also.
