DIY Fruit Roll-Ups

Hi! Today we're making DIT fruit roll-ups. These are a healthier version of the store-bought ones, and customizable to the fruit of your choice. You will need:

• 3 large apples, or 1 1/4 pounds of chopped fruit
• 3/4 cup of sugar (I used 1/2 teaspoon of stevia)
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• Blender
• Pot or pan
• Baking sheet
• Parchment Paper
• Scissors

First, preheat your oven to 200° F. Then put all of your ingredients into the blender.

Blend the ingredients until pureed.

After that, transfer your puree into a pan on high heat until simmering. When simmered, turn the heat down to medium until the puree is very thick. Mine took about 20 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the puree out into an even layer.

Put your baking sheet into the oven for 3 and a half hours.

After that, take it out of the oven. Let it cool until you can handle the temperature. It should be a bit tacky, but also pliable.

Cut the puree into strips with some scissors, and roll them up.

And you're done! This is how mine turned out:

This DIY was fairly easy, but so time consuming. It's a great way to use overripe fruit, and it makes a good healthy snack. I hope you try this out sometime. Enjoy!

Until next week,
