BHA & BHT Free Ceylon Cinnamon & Vanilla Fruit Leather

Fruit leather sounds simple enough, but most store-bought versions are loaded with preservatives like BHA and BHT to extend shelf life — which is exactly what you're trying to avoid. This homemade version skips all of that entirely, relying on nothing but real fruit, honey, lemon juice, and warm spice to create something genuinely snackable. Strawberries, blueberries, and peach slices get blended into a silky puree, brightened with fresh lemon juice and a touch of honey, then layered with the floral warmth of Ceylon cinnamon and vanilla powder. Ceylon cinnamon in particular is worth seeking out — it's softer and more complex than the cassia variety, and it plays beautifully against the natural sweetness of the fruit. The low-and-slow oven method does all the heavy lifting, transforming that vibrant puree into a glossy, peel-and-roll sheet that's chewy in the best possible way. Cutting it into strips and rolling them in parchment makes them feel like a proper treat, not just a health project. Keep a batch in an airtight container and you've got a clean, preservative-free snack ready to grab all week long.
