3rd week: Fruit Leather.

This week we will be experimenting with fruits to make a fruit leather. As usual, different group different task. 

The basic formula for making Fruit leather are:

2 cups variety of fruits (we used dragon fruit, kiwi, strawberry, peach, and apples)

25 gram sugar

*Note; Apple leather can be made using 5 apples, (peeled, cored, and pureed), 90 ml water, and 75 gram sugar.

For our group, we will be using green apples to make a fruit leather. 

Before the task:

Before the task, Chef Zaid gave us some briefing before we start the mise-en-place. Right after the briefing is finished. We start to prepare our ingredients.

This are the ingredients.

During the task:

Right after the ingredients are ready. We started peeling and chopping the green apples.

Peeling the apples.

Remove the core and chop roughly

Put all the ingredients in a blender or a food processor and blend until it becomes a puree.

Pureed green apples.

*Right after we pureed it, we spread on a parchment paper that had been put on a tray.

Spread the puree evenly on a parchment paper

Put in the preheated oven (100 C) for approximately 2 hours

*For 2 hours of waiting. There's nothing much we can do. So we went out for a while.

After 2 hours. The fruit leather is 99.99% dried
