How long does this recipe last?

You can store leftovers in an airtight container or sealable bag at room temperature in the pantry for up to one month. We don't recommend storing leftovers in the fridge as the fruit rollups tend to become too hard.

Can I freeze leftovers?

We don’t recommend it! The rolls won’t thaw well and are likely to become mushy and gummy.

Can I use frozen fruit?

Fresh fruit is best for this recipe. Frozen fruit will cause the mixture to become too runny and drying times would be altered. Plus it isn’t quite as flavorful.

Can I use a combination of fruits?

Absolutely! Feel free to mix and match and flavors you like best. You can also make different flavors for a snack variety pack! It's the perfect addition to your snack lineup that every member of the family will look forward to eating.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes! To do so, double the batter, and evenly spread the mixture onto two half sheet pans . Then, follow the recipe as normal, placing both pans in the oven to dehydrate.

Do I need gelatin for this recipe?

No, the sweetener acts as a "glue" holding the ingredients and creating a sticky consistency similar to gushers or fruit leather without the need for gelatin or fruit pectin.

Instructions

Oven Method (See notes)

Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth ( (about 1 to 1 ¼ cup pureed). Pour onto a half sheet pan (about 15 x 10 x 1 inch) lined with a silicone baking mat or plastic wrap (do not use aluminum foil, parchment paper, or waxed paper otherwise the fruit roll ups will not peel off). See notes if you double the recipe.
Spread the fruit mix to ⅛ inch thick. Place in the oven at 170F or at the lowest temperature and bake for 6-8 hours, until the center is not sticky anymore. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. (see notes).
Let the fruit batter cool then peel the fruit off the baking mat or plastic wrap. Place on a sheet of parchment paper and cut into strips with kitchen shears.
Roll the strips up and use a string to hold together or simply press the ends to the parchment paper.
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Notes

Alternative Method – DEHYDRATOR – Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour evenly onto a dehydrator tray. Cover and dehydrate at 135 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 7 hours. Once the batter is dry and not sticky in the middle, turn off the dehydrator. Allow the fruit roll to cool.

Prep Tips – Double the batter and evenly spread onto 2 half sheet pans, if desired.

Oven Method Tip – Then let the fruit mix dehydrate for 4-7 hours (check progress at 3 hours), depending on the temperature. I was able to dry out the fruit on a silicone mat in 4 hours at 170F but using plastic wrap took an extra 30-45 minutes.. Do not use warming mode on the oven.

Flavor Tips – Each type of fruit will produce slightly different results. Berries, mango, and pineapple are my favorites. If using berries or kiwi, small seeds will remain unless you strain them. Experiment to find what fruit works best for you. The addition of honey or maple syrup enhances the texture and makes the fruit roll ups a little more chewy.
