Ingredients:

• 5 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Prep the Berries: Start by preparing your berries. Wash them thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. For larger berries like strawberries, hull them and chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending.

2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the berries, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of water to help it blend more easily.

3. Strain the Mixture (Optional): For a smoother texture, you can strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp. This step is optional and depends on your preference for texture.

4. Spread onto Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour the blended berry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

5. Bake in the Oven: Preheat your oven to 70 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 4-6 hours, or until the fruit mixture is set and no longer sticky to the touch. Keep an eye on the roll-ups as they bake, as the exact baking time may vary.

6. Cool and Slice: Once the fruit mixture is fully dehydrated and set, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the fruit sheet into strips or squares, depending on your preference.

7. Roll Up and Enjoy: Carefully peel the fruit strips off the parchment paper and roll them up into tight spirals. You can leave them as individual strips or cut them into smaller pieces for bite-sized snacks. Store the homemade fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

With just a few simple ingredients and some patience, you can create your own delicious and nutritious fruit roll-ups at home. These wholesome snacks are perfect for kids and adults alike, providing a convenient and satisfying option for on-the-go snacking. Whether enjoyed as a midday pick-me-up or a lunchbox treat, homemade fruit roll-ups are sure to brighten your day with their vibrant flavors and wholesome goodness.

Ingredients

• 5 cups berries, (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)

• 1/4 cup honey

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 70 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit). This low temperature will gently dehydrate the fruit mixture to create the roll-ups.
• Wash the berries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. If using larger berries like strawberries, hull them and chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the berries, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of water to help it blend more easily.
• If you prefer a smoother texture for your fruit roll-ups, you can strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp. This step is optional and depends on your personal preference.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Make sure the parchment paper or mat extends beyond the edges of the baking sheet to prevent the fruit mixture from dripping onto the pan.
• Pour the blended berry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-6 hours, or until the fruit mixture is set and no longer sticky to the touch. Keep an eye on the roll-ups as they bake, as the exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the fruit layer.
• Once the fruit mixture is fully dehydrated and set, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the fruit sheet into strips or squares, depending on your preference.
• Carefully peel the fruit strips off the parchment paper and roll them up into tight spirals. You can leave them as individual strips or cut them into smaller pieces for bite-sized snacks.

Notes

• Store the homemade fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
• You can customize this recipe by using your favorite combination of berries or adding other ingredients like spices or vanilla extract for extra flavor. Experiment with different flavor combinations to create unique and delicious fruit roll-ups!
