Straining to fit into a boot. Whining about a finger caught in the wrong mitten. Searching for that elusive toque. Getting your kids outside to play...
Cherry-apple fruit leather is easy to make. This recipe, if you can call it that, has two ingredients: cherries and unsweetened apple sauce. Apple sauce add sweetness and pectin to the puree which helps with the flavour and texture of this fruit leather.

Start by washing, stemming and pitting the cherries. Ensure all the pits are removed. Place the pitted cherries into a large pot. Mash the cherries with a potato masher or your hands to release the juices and add the apple sauce or chopped apples.
Bring the cherries and apple sauce to a simmer. Simmer until the cherries (and chopped apples, if using) are soft. Keep your eye out for pesky cherry pits and remove any that you missed in the pitting process. When the fruit is soft, puree the fruit using an immersion blender or a food blender, working in batches. If you hear any clinking noises stop and fish out the pit!
