Is the paper recipes call for to make fruit leather the same as wax paper or parchment paper?
 
hi Pengyou, I've made it on parchment paper. It only sticks slightly which isn't a problem if it is dry enough. I usually cut the paper with the fruit leather with a scissors, in long strips, then roll each strip of fruit leather with the paper, into a kind of fruit roll up.

I have found that not every fruit on its own will make good pliable fruit leather. It needs to have some pectin in it, so I often make fruit leather with a fruit plus either apple or pear mixed in for texture and sweetness.

Good luck.
 
Added to this post, can someone recommend a good website that teaches the fundamentals or principles of making fruit leather, rather than just sharing recipes?
