In just a few simple steps, you have your own fruit leather than you can then make into homemade fruit roll-ups that I loved so much when I was a kid. There was just nothing like pulling that sweet treat away from the parchment paper for a snack in the afternoons after school or during lunch from my lunchbox. I loved that Mama would make them and tuck them away for me. It just takes a few simple steps to make fruit leather at home and begin playing with your favorite combinations of flavors! Just toss your fruit into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Then pour onto the mat for your dehydrator shelf or onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Pop the shelf into your dehydrator or the baking sheet into the oven. Then, once it has dehydrated, you’ll allow to cool and then roll up your fruit leather to store as one large piece or cut your fruit leather and parchment into strips for fruit roll-ups. I love to pack these away for our family camping trips or when my husband and son are off on a Scouting trip. There’s just something about knowing that I sent these with them. And… that way, I’m not nearly as tempted to eat them all! Here’s my homemade fruit leather recipe. Enjoy!Robyn xo
