BHA & BHT Free Mixed Berry Fruit Leather

Store-bought fruit snacks are one of those products where the preservative list can get surprisingly long, and BHA and BHT show up more often than you'd expect in packaged fruit leathers. This homemade version skips all of that entirely — the only ingredients are fresh or frozen berries, a touch of honey, lemon juice, and a hint of Ceylon cinnamon. The result is a deeply fruity, chewy snack that tastes like concentrated summer in every bite. Blending the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries together creates a gorgeous jewel-toned purée, and straining out the seeds gives the finished leather a smooth, satisfying texture that holds together beautifully. The low-and-slow oven method does all the work, slowly drawing out moisture until you're left with something pliable, glossy, and completely snackable. Rolling each strip in parchment makes them easy to grab on the go, pack in a lunchbox, or stash in a bowl on the counter. Once you see how simple this is, it's hard to justify buying the packaged kind ever again.
