Ingredients
- 2 cups golden or brown raisins
- 1 small pear, peeled and cut into pieces
- 2 cups of water
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
Prep the fruit:
- Bring 2 cups of water to boil.
- Meantime, place raisins and diced pear inside a large bowl.
- Once water boils, pour it inside the bowl. With a fork, mix ingredients around and wait 20 minutes for raisins to plump up.
- Using a 1-cup measuring cup, remove ¾ cup of liquid. Add cinnamon and mix ingredients around.
Blend:
- Carefully pour cinnamon-plumped fruit and liquid inside a blender or food processor and blend well until it becomes a paste or thick puree.
Prep the oven:
- Preheat the oven to 200F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Spread:
- Pour half the mixture onto the lined cookie sheet. Spread it thinly on first sheet with the back of a spoon. You might need to add more to cover the entire baking sheet. Less is more here. Pour remaining mixture onto a second sheet.
Bake:
- Bake in mid to lower parts of your oven for 2.5-3 hours. After 2.5 hours check every 15-20 minutes. This is one recipe that is ok to open up the oven to check for doneness. You are looking for the fruit to peel away easily from the parchment and has become dehydrated. Oven temperatures and cooking times will vary, so keep an eye on these after 2.5 hours.
Cut into strips:
- When done, remove from oven and allow to cool. Using scissors cut into 1″ strips across your pan. It will be sticky. Roll them up and store in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long).
