Equipment

Food Dehydrator
Rimmed Silicone Dehydrator Trays

Ingredients

3 ½ cups Pumpkin Puree fresh or canned
½ cup Packed Brown Sugar
¼ cup Maple Syrup
2 tablespoon Water
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¾ teaspoon Ground Ginger
¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Salt
Pinch Allspice

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined.
Note: I like to combine the dry ingredients first, ensuring that the packed brown sugar is completely broken up - with no lumps - before mixing it into the pumpkin puree.
Divide spiced pumpkin mixture between silicone dehydrator trays - ours are about 11 x 10", and we used 3.
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 spiced pumpkin 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 pumpkin spice fruit leather into strips, then store in an airtight container - see notes on how to condition it.

Notes

Condition the Pumpkin Spice 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 pumpkin spice 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 spiced pumpkin leather is fully dry and moisture isn’t coming out, transfer them to an airtight container for longer term storage.
