Materials

  • 1 kg Fruits such as peaches, black plums, yellow plums, cherries, apricots, etc.
  • ½ tbsp Salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the fruits: Wash them and extract the seeds.
    It is up to you whether you can peel the fruit or not. The skin of peaches and plums gives a delicious taste to lavashak.
  • Cook the fruits: Put the fruits in a pot or saucepan, and put it on the stove, until fully cooked and soft, you can close the lid. Do not add water because the fruits have watery. But If they are pretty hard, so add one ⅓ of water.
    The fruits should be cooked and soft. The process can take 30-40 minutes.
  • If the water of the fruits have completely evaporated, you can spread the puree on a tray to dry. (If you want a lavashk with fruit peel)
    Otherwise, pour the puree into a colander with a pot under it. Using your hand or a spoon, claw the fruits until the skin comes off of the fleshy parts and results in a thick puree.
  • Put the puree on the stove again; if your puree is too watery, cook it again until the extra water evaporates and you get the proper thickness. In this stage, leave the lid open and constantly stir the contents so that they don't burn on.
  • Add sugar or salt; before turning the stove off, test the puree’s flavor. Add some sugar or salt. The amount depends on your preference.
    For 1 kilogram of cherries, add ½ tablespoon of salt. If you’ve used sour cherries, you can add ½ tablespoon of sugar to balance the taste. If you like the sour lavashak, you can add 1 spoon of salt to the sour cherries, It gives the sour taste to it. It all depends on your preference.
    If you add 2 spoons of sugar and 1 spoon of salt to the combination of peaches and black plums, it will give the lavashak a sweet-and-sour taste.
  • Turn the stove off and let the puree cool.
  • Spread the puree on a tray covered with parchment paper, smoothen the surface.
  • Put the tray under the sun or in the oven for the drying process. When dry, cut into strips. Homemade fruit roll ups are ready.
  • Enjoy!
