Ah, not to worry…you aren’t the only one who’s asked me that question!

Parchment paper is similar to wax paper…as in…it can be used for the same things. But it’s not as slick or, well, waxy. I love the stuff!! I use unbleached.

I hate to show my lack of kitchen knowledge, but is parchment paper the same thing as wax paper?

WOW, how time flies – this was almost a year ago?!? I came across a link for strawberry fruit leather that I put on my weekly roundup, and it reminded me of this post, so I did some searching to find it and put it on there too. (Link is under my name.) Can’t wait to see what you do this year! :>)

No, as long as it is completely dry when I put it into jars, it will last for years!

Does your fruit leather mold when stored in the jars in your pantry? How long will it last? Thanks a bunch!

Amanda,
I tried it with strawberries and it turned out great! I made the apple kind, too, with raw apple sauce (skins on) and it turned out awesome, too.
Laura,
I was wondering if you have tried chewy fruit snacks. I tried making some for our upcoming road trip but was curious how you would do it.

I simply can’t wait to try this! My children love those fruit by the foot thingy’s but, as the mom, I do not. These are, obviously, much healthier! Do you think you could do this with strawberries? Thanks for sharing!

Wow I can’t wait for fruit season to try this!
How long will it keep though?

I just found your blog through Lois’ Heart to Heart newsletter. I love this idea!

I think I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon!

Thank you for the neat idea! I have a LOT of pears, and I’ve (accidently) made pear butter, but still have a lot left over. What am I going to do!!!! Tommorrow I am going to cut pears and dry them. Hopefully I’ll also figure out how to make stewed pears.
