I know this is more related to food prepping, but I hope that dehydrating food is adjacent enough that it’s ok.
I was making some watermelon fruit leather for the first time yesterday/today and it just fell to pieces. It stuck to the tray and ripped to shreds. I’ve made apple fruit leather and it released much more easily and didn’t shred.
Any tips on making fruit leather that doesn’t rip to shreds and rival super glue?

Any luck?
I won’t know until next year. I only make it when we have excess watermelon, which isn’t in season right now.
IIRC Apples contain a higher amount of pectin, this sort of acts like a starch or like a glue and it helps with the bonding of the fibers. Some recipes online ask to add water and blend a full apple to certain fruit mixes like berries that don’t contain enough pectin.
