Servings fruit roll-ups
Ingredients
- 2 ½ – 3 cups ripe or slightly over-ripe diced fruit
- sweetener to taste: honey sugar, agave, etc.
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- optional: seasonings spices, extracts to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to lowest temperature. 140° or higher. Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap, or a silicone baking mat (don’t use foil, parchment, or waxed paper; the dried fruit will stick terribly!), and spread to ⅛″ thick. Place in oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until center is not tacky anymore. Remove from oven and peel off of baking sheet. Cut into strips and roll in parchment or plastic. Store in airtight container or freeze.
Notes
- All fruits will produce slightly different results. Strawberries and Raspberries are two of my favorites, that consistently produce good flavor and texture. You might have to experiment to find what works well. If you’re going to make a giant batch, you may want to test one first to make sure it works well.
- The addition of sugar or honey enhances the texture and makes the fruit roll ups a little more chewy than if you leave it out.
- If using plastic wrap, it will shrink a little as the fruit dries, so do leave a little extra around the edges. A silicone baking mat works the absolute best in my opinion.
- Nutritional information is a loose calculation using mixed fruit and 1 tablespoon of honey.
