Gelatin Free Ceylon Cinnamon & Vanilla Fruit Leather

Fruit leather sounds like it should be simple, but so many store-bought versions sneak in unexpected additives — and for anyone avoiding gelatin, checking labels on chewy snacks can feel like a full-time job. This version is built entirely from real fruit: strawberries, blueberries, and peach slices blended smooth with honey, lemon juice, and a whisper of vanilla powder. The secret weapon is Ceylon cinnamon, which is noticeably softer and more floral than the cassia variety you'll find in most spice racks, and it pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the fruit. Straining the puree before spreading it gives you that perfectly smooth, peel-clean texture without any gummy binders or thickeners — just fruit doing what fruit does when you give it low, slow heat. The result is a chewy, jewel-toned strip that tastes like summer concentrated into something you can roll up and tuck into a bag. Rolling each piece in parchment before storing keeps them from sticking together, so they stay snack-ready all week long.
