Is Honey Pestil the same as fruit leather?

Can you use Honey Pestil in recipes?

How should Honey Pestil be stored?
Store Honey Pestil in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Moisture can make it sticky and affect its texture, so seal the package well after opening and keep it away from direct sunlight.
Can Honey Pestil be frozen?
Yes, Honey Pestil can be frozen in a well-sealed, freezer-safe bag or container. Separate pieces with parchment if they stick together, and let the portion soften before eating so its texture is easier to enjoy.
Is Honey Pestil a better snack than candy?
Honey Pestil is made from fruit pulp, but it is still a sweet snack and honey does not make it sugar-free. It can be an alternative to some candies, though portion size matters because it is concentrated and sweet.

What is Honey Pestil?
Honey Pestil is a traditional Turkish fruit leather: fruit pulp, often made from grapes or mulberries, is spread thinly and dried, with honey added for sweetness. It has a pliable, slightly chewy texture and a concentrated fruity taste, with honey adding a rounded sweetness. Recipes vary by region and household.
In Turkey, it is commonly eaten as a snack, served with tea or paired with nuts; it can also appear at breakfast. For English-speaking readers, it works well as a portable sweet bite or alongside plain yoghurt. It is mainly a source of carbohydrate and provides energy, while being low in fat. Its sweetness is concentrated, so a modest piece with a few nuts makes a satisfying pairing.
