Fruity Leather

Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped fruit, like strawberries, blueberries or raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey

You will need:
- cookie sheet with a lip
- blender
- spoon or plastic spatula

Directions:
• Check with a grown-up before you start this.
• Preheat the oven to 140 degrees or lower.
• Put the chopped fruit and two tablespoons honey in the blender. Make sure that the top is secure on the blender.
• Blend for 10 seconds or until it's smooth.
• Once it's done, make sure you stop the blender before you take off the top.
• The fruit will look all mushed-up.
• Pour the fruit onto the cookie sheet and smooth it out with a spoon or spatula. Make sure that you spread it evenly.
• Put the tray in the oven and cook for three hours or until the fruit is dry.
• Remember that it takes a long time for the fruit to cook in the oven. It won't save time if you turn up the heat. You'll just burn the fruit.
• Once the fruit is dry, take it out of the oven and set it aside to cool.
• When it is cool, just roll it up and it's ready to eat.
