• Puree 2 cups of strawberries and 1 ripe banana until the fruit mixture is smooth. Note, you'll want to use bananas that are ripe with some brown spots. Ripe bananas have extra sweetness and are more moist than less ripe or greener bananas.
• In a bowl combine the pureed fruit and 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice. Mix together thoroughly.

Drying

• Line a food dehydrator drying rack with parchment paper or non-stick dehydrator sheets. Pour the strawberry and banana puree mixture onto the drying tray and spread until about 1/4 inch thick.
• Dry at 130° Fahrenheit for 5 to 7 hours. You may want to flip the leather over half way through the drying process. Dry until no moist spots are visible.
