How to Make DIY Fruit Roll-Ups

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   Prepare your fruit: Blend each type of fruit separately in a blender until it forms a smooth puree. Rinse the blender thoroughly between each fruit to prevent flavor mixing.

3. 3

   Transfer each fruit puree into its own small saucepan.

4. 4

   Sweeten the purees: For each fruit puree, stir in 1/3 cup of sugar. (Alternatively, if using a triple batch of one fruit, you can add a full cup of sugar to that single puree).

5. 5

   Cook the purees: Place the saucepans over medium-high heat and bring the purees to a simmer.

6. 6

   Thicken the purees: Continue to simmer the purees, stirring occasionally, until they lose their liquid consistency and become thick and tacky. This process typically takes about 10-15 minutes for bananas and around 30 minutes for grapes and strawberries.

7. 7

   Prepare for baking: Remove the thickened purees from the heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with either greased aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat. Pour each fruit puree onto its prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Spread thinly: Spread each puree out into a thin, even layer, aiming to create a rectangular shape.

9. 9

   Bake until dry: Bake the fruit purees in the preheated oven for approximately 3 hours, or until they are no longer tacky to the touch.

10. 10

    Cool and remove: Carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven. Gently turn out each fruit leather onto a piece of wax paper.

11. 11

    Roll the leather: Tightly roll each fruit leather into a log.

12. 12

    Cut into roll-ups: Use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut the logs into desired roll-up sizes.

13. 13

    Store properly: Store the finished fruit roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
