Citric Acid Free Ceylon Cinnamon & Vanilla Fruit Leather

Fruit leather sounds like a simple snack, but most store-bought versions are loaded with citric acid as a preservative and flavor enhancer — making them off-limits for anyone avoiding that additive. This homemade version skips it entirely, relying on the natural sweetness of strawberries, blueberries, and peaches to carry all the flavor. A drizzle of honey rounds out the fruit, while ground Ceylon cinnamon and vanilla powder add a warm, almost dessert-like depth that makes each strip feel genuinely special. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here — it's milder and more aromatic than the common cassia variety, and it plays beautifully against the bright berry-peach base. The slow oven-drying process does all the heavy lifting, transforming a blended, strained puree into a smooth, peel-and-roll snack with a satisfying chew. Once cut into strips and rolled in parchment, they keep well at room temperature or in the fridge, so you can make a batch and snack on them all week long.
