Wash and prepare your fruit. Remove any pits or seeds.
Puree the fruit in a blender or food processor until smooth.
If using, stir in honey or maple syrup and lemon juice.
Pour the fruit puree onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Let it cool completely.
Cut into strips or shapes.

Adjust sweetness to your preference.
Ensure the fruit leather is completely dry to prevent mold.
