Hello to y’all who are running around like headless chickens trying to find a can of cranberry jelly for Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. I have found the perfect substitute. It is made from a fruit that we have coined “sour peach” which grows here in the Belize. It has a lovely peachy aroma but once you bite into it, you start pulling funny faces because it is sooooo sour!
Here’s one for the Festive Season. I have taken a Tropical Fruit called “Sour Peach” and made a Christmas Fruit Leather with raisins, cinnamon and cloves. Here in Belize, the days are hot and dry so it is the perfect time for sun-drying food outside.

Sour Peach imparts a tanginess to the taste of the leather which gives a “sweet and sour” taste. It takes about 2 to 3 days for it to completely dry. After this, it is dusted with cornstarch, cut into lengths and then rolled into Yule Logs.

These Yule Logs are very versatile and make a great garnish for desserts and puddings. The rolls can be sliced and used as a topping:

They can also be served whole with turkey or ham as an interesting, tropical accompaniment to traditional Christmas fair.
