Storage
Remove the fruit roll while it is still warm, roll, cut into smaller size pieces (if desired) and wrap in plastic
wrap. Individually wrapped pieces of fruit leather should be stored in larger airtight and moisture proof
containers.
Fruit Drying Chart
Expect a variance in the time needed to dry different fruits. Drying times are affected by the size of the load,
fruit thickness and the moisture content of the food itself. The guidelines are general. For more accurate
drying times, keep records of your own drying experiences.
