Preheat your oven to 170Β°F (75Β°C) or the lowest setting available. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Place the mixed berries in a blender and puree until smooth.
In a small saucepan, combine the berry puree, erythritol, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
While the berry mixture heats, combine the gelatin powder and water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve.
Once the berry mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and whisk in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula to form a thin, even layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and dry the fruit mixture for about 3.5 hours, or until the fruit leather is set and no longer sticky.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the fruit leather to cool completely.
Once cooled, peel the fruit leather off the baking mat or parchment paper. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the fruit leather into desired shapes or strips.
Store the fruit leather in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
