This report is for the 3rd week of the class. Miss Nina assign each group to do with different type of fruits.

21/2c Kiwi, hulled and cut in half 25g Sugar

Puree kiwi in a blander until smooth,stir in sugar. Line jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and fasten it to the edges with masking tape. Spread the fruit evenly in the pan. Dry in oven at 140F (60C) until completely dry and no longer sticky (approximately 12hours). Remove from aluminum foil and roll up. Wrap the roll tightly in aluminum foil and store at room temperature in a tightly closed plastic bag or container. NOTE : Kiwi leather can be made using 1 1/2lb of ikiw (peeled,cored,and pureed), 90ml water,75g sugar, and 0.8g cinnamon.
