Description
Make watermelons last longer than the season with Watermelon Fruit Straps! This simple food hack is an easy way to make watermelon fruit leather at home. Remember to store in an airtight container.
Method
Step 1 of 7
Preheat the oven to 140°C (120°C fan-forced). Line a flat tray with baking paper.
Step 2 of 7
Remove the pips from the watermelon. Place the watermelon, sugar and lime zest into a blender. Blitz until smooth.
Step 3 of 7
Line a colander with a handy towel. Pour in the watermelon, leaving it for 20 minutes to drain. Keep the juice to drink or add to a smoothie.
Step 4 of 7
Spread the pulp out in a thin layer on the baking tray and place it into the oven for 1 hour.
Step 5 of 7
Check how it is going, and allow it to continue to cook until it is dry, for up to 1 hour more.
Step 6 of 7
Remove and roll gently with the paper while warm so it doesn't stick. Once cool, remove the paper and roll back up again. Cut into straps.
Step 7 of 7
Store in an airtight container.
