Equipment

Food Dehydrator
Rimmed Silicone Dehydrator Trays

Ingredients

1 can Mango Pulp 850 grams, See post for full details
Zest of 1 Lime
2 tablespoon Lime Juice
2 ½ teaspoon Chili Powder
1 ¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika

Instructions

Measure all of the ingredients into medium bowl, whisk until well combined.
Taste, add more salt or chili powder, if desired. (Remember - the flavour/heat/saltiness will concentrate. Don’t go too wild on your first batch!)
Divide the mango mixture between silicone dehydrator trays. Ours are about 11 x 10", and we used 3, perfectly.
Use an offset spatula to spread the mixture to an even thickness on each tray.
Dehydrate at 135 F for 6 hours.
At 6 hours, check your chili mango fruit leather. It should pull up from the silicone relatively easily, and be soft without being sticky. If it’s not dried yet, put it back in the food dehydrator until it is.
Once you’re happy with the dryness, remove the pans from the food dehydrator and allow to cool to room temperature.
Use a pizza wheel or sharp knife to cut the chili mango fruit leather into strips, then store in an airtight container - see notes on how to condition it.

Notes

Condition the Chili Mango Fruit Leather:

Keep an eye on the fruit leather for the first 3 days or so.

If you see any evidence of residual moisture in that time frame - droplets on the bag, etc - return the mango leather to the dehydrator and let it dry a bit more.

If at any point you see any evidence of mold, throw the batch out.

Once you’re sure the chili mango fruit leather is fully dry and moisture isn’t coming out, transfer them to an airtight container for longer term storage. We like to stick each one to a square of parchment and roll them up.
