Be careful about the amount of heat you
generate in your system. Back in the early 70's I used a design published in
Organic Gardening for device to make home-made fruit leather that was
similar. I found a box about 10" deep with an opening in the top the same size
as a cookie sheet. I lined it with aluminum foil, set a trouble light in the
center, ran the cord out the side and plugged it in. I set the cookie sheet
in the top, filled it to 1/2" deep with a peach slurry. In about 48 hours I had
a beautiful peach leather. The point is that incandescent bulbs can generate a
lot of heat so make sure it's not too much.
