    With a mix of fruits you get often brown colors, similar to mixing different color paints you get dark often brown colors. I make apple leather from my yellow apples and even adding lemon juice to fight oxidation, it still comes out brown. My concord grape leather comes out dark/deep purple almost black.

    I blend the fruit into pulp (peeling apples first), then cook it down in a sauce pan until it’s thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, spread it out on silicon mats to about 1/4"-1/8" thick and dehydrate. Once dried, pull it off mats and roll up in wax paper like the image.
