Homemade Fruit Roll-ups

 

 

Store bought fruit roll-ups are made from concentrate, corn syrup, ascorbic acid and other less than natural ingredients.  Home-made fruit roll-ups are easy to make, way healthier and surely satisfy any sweet tooth. 

The recipe is easy and flexible, you can chose any fruit you like or you can mix fruits.  You can use fresh, dried or frozen fruit. They are easy to prepare but they do take about 3-4 hours to set so keep that in mind. Make a few batches at a time.

1. Select any fruit of your choice and purée it in a blender or food processor. If desired add a tablespoon or two of sugar.

2. On low warm the fruit in a pot on the stove, stir periodically, in about 10-15 minutes it will start to look jammy.

3. Thinly spread (or spray) oil onto parchment paper placed on a baking sheet, then spread out your fruit purée. It will become thinner as it bakes.

4. Bake in the oven on 170°F. They are done when the puree isn’t sticky anymore which is about 3-4 hours depending on the oven and your fruit choices.

5. Use a sharp knife to cut them and roll them with wax or parchment paper when they are still warm. 

Enjoy!
