Ingredients
3 cups raspberries
1 tsp lemon juice
4 tsp raw honey
2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 cups water
Directions
Preheat oven to 170°F. Line a 10ʺ × 15ʺ cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, add raspberries, lemon juice, honey, thyme, and water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Pour fruit mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Separate any solids by straining contents over a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, using the back of a spoon to press as much liquid as possible through the mesh.
Spread puree in a thin, even layer over pan. Cook 4 to 6 hours, until center is tacky to the touch.
Slide fruit leather from pan onto a cooling rack, keeping it on the parchment paper. Let cool completely, then peel from paper.
Using a pizza cutter or scissors, cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips. Discard dry edges.
Use strips of parchment paper to roll up fruit leather. Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
