Re: Homemade fruit leather--cost effective?
I think it would work just fine to use a food mill, but I've always used cook sauce. We used to anually press apple juice from windfalls. Usually they are just bruised and if the buise is fresh I would still use that part, or cut off the section before peeling the apple. Any heavily decayed apples I would compost because the flavour permeates the entire apple if the rot is in the core. If you aren't peeling your apples I might just slice off the bruises to be sure decay doesn't affect the taste of your leather.
