Lavashak, or Persian fruit leather, is a delicious snack and a perfect way to preserve a surplus of fruit. This thin layer of dried fruit has sweet, sour, and salty notes. It’s a highly upgraded version of the processed fruit leather roll-ups you may have enjoyed from the store as a kid, and it’s surprisingly easy to make. Made with just two ingredients, this healthy snack is completely customizable, in terms of what kind of fruits you want to use and how much sweetener (if any) you want to add.

This recipe originates in Iran and across the Middle East. Lavashak was originally made by drying mashed fruit in the sun. Its name comes from the fruit leather’s resemblance to thin Persian lavash bread.

In this modern version, we bake a thin layer of boiled fruit purée on a baking sheet (a metal tray with 4 sides) at a very low temp (150 to 170F) for 6 to 12 hours, until the fruit is completely dry and no longer sticks to your fingers. Then we cut the fruit leather into strips and store it to enjoy whenever. The range in bake time depends on how thinly you spread the fruit and the temperature of your oven; many ovens preheat at 170F as the lowest setting, which will dry out the fruit quicker than a 150F oven. It’s important to spread the fruit mixture thinly and evenly so everything cooks uniformly.

I’m bringing you the recipe on the cusp of August, when summer fruit is abundant. This is the perfect use for fruit just past its prime, that maybe sat on the counter or in the fridge a day too long. Pitted, stemmed cherries, plums, and other stone fruit are perfect for lavashak. Adding sweetener is entirely up to you; I find most late-summer fruit naturally sweet enough that no added sweetener is necessary. A pinch of salt is added for balance and to prolong the shelf life of this incredible snack.
