Wash, peel and cut the mango and pineapple fruits into small chunks. Make sure to remove any stains or bruises from the fruits.
Take the prepared mango and pineapple fruits and put them in a blender or food processor. Process until you get a smooth puree. Optionally, you can add one tablespoon of honey to sweeten the puree.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ladle the fruit puree onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Try to maintain about 1/8 inch thickness for uniform drying.
Using an Oven: Set your oven to the lowest heat setting which is usually about 140°F (60°C). Leave the baking sheet in the oven and dry for about 6-8 hours checking periodically to prevent over-drying. You can touch the fruit leather to check if it has dried. When it feels not sticky anymore, it is ready.
Using a Dehydrator: Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C). Put the tray in the dehydrator and dry for about 4-6 hours checking periodically to ensure the leather has reached desired consistency.
After drying, allow the fruit leather to cool down. Peel off from the parchment paper and cut into strips or any shape you like using a knife or scissors.
The fruit leather is best stored in an airtight container and can last for a week at room temperature or longer if refrigerated.
