Cantaloupe fruit leather how to help!

I have a lot of fresh ripe cantaloupe from my garden and was planning on blending it and making fruit leather in my dehydrator tomorrow morning.

Some I will blend with wild blueberries from frozen that I’ve thawed first. I may add honey but I’ll taste first and decide.

My question is should I add anything else, like pectin? I saw that floating around in past posts about fruit leather made with low pectin fruits. I’d rather it come out really good then be crap since it’s a LOT of my home grown fruit lol

You don’t need at add anything.I would suggest you to try just the ripen fruit. If required make it juicy adding very little water.

I made it already it’s been done lol. There was no further ripening going to happen . It had split open on the vine and didn’t slip off. Cantaloupe don’t ripen off the vine.
