Making fruit leather at home is surprisingly easy. All you need is a blender, a little extra sugar, and a lot of patience—it'll take at least 3 hours (in a very low oven) until it's all dried out and ready to roll. (If you like this recipe, you need to try our Rainbow Fruit Roll-Ups, too!)

Ingredients

Cooking spray
8 cups
cubed watermelon
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
Juice of 1 lime

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 170° and a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with cooking spray. In a blender, blend watermelon until smooth.
2. Step 2Over a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth (or paper towels), drain almost all liquid from watermelon purée until you have about 2 cups watermelon solids. (Save juice for another use!)
3. Step 3 In a medium bowl, whisk together watermelon solids, sugar, and lime juice.
4. Step 4 Divide mixture between prepared baking sheets, spreading with an offset spatula to make smooth even layers. Bake until dried out and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 hours.
5. Step 5 Using scissors, cut leather into vertical strips and roll up.
