Blueberry Fruit Leather

Ingredients:

• 3 cups blueberries (or fresh berry of choice; strawberries, raspberries or mixed berries)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 175F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking
   mat. Parchment paper can also work, but it must lie completely flat on
   your baking sheet.
2. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and combine until smooth.
3. Pour onto the baking sheet, and using a flat spatula, spread out into a
   rectangle shape. Ensure the edges are thicker than the center, as they
   will dry quicker.
4. Place in the oven for 2.5 hours. Check, and spin the baking sheet. Bake
   for an additional 2 hours before checking again. The time will vary
   depending on the water content of the fruit. The fruit leather is ready
   when it effortlessly lifts off the silicone sheet or parchment paper. If it is dry
   around the edges you can rehydrate with a wet cloth.
5. Store rolled in wax paper or parchment paper as desired.
