Homemade Fruit Roll-ups = YUMMY!

Hi Friends,
Thought I'd share a recipe with you today.  HOMEMADE FRUIT ROLL-UPS are pretty easy to make, and soooooo yummy.  :)  You can use your oven or a food dehydrator to make them, or both (like we did!).  Here's what to do:

1. Choose your ingredients.  We used applesauce as our base for all different kinds of roll-ups, then added fruit or jam.  We ended up with Cherry Applesauce, Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce, Spiced Strawberry Applesauce and Peach Applesauce Roll-ups.  Quite a variety!

2. If you're using whole fruit (like the cherries we used), you'll want to puree them before adding your applesauce.  Then mix in your applesauce.  We used about a 2 parts applesauce to 1 part other fruit ratio.

3. Pour your concoction onto prepared (plastic wrap-lined or lightly greased) pans or trays and spread to about a 1/4" thickness.

4. If you're using a dehydrator, add your prepared trays and set it at about 135 degrees.  We left our trays in for about eight hours.  If you're using an oven, set it at 170 degrees.  These trays took longer - about 11-12 hours (the roll-ups were thicker).

5. Remove from oven/dehydrator when roll-ups are still barely sticky (otherwise you'll have fruit chips, not roll-ups).  Cut into desired sizes and roll up, then wrap in plastic wrap.  You can pop a bunch of wrapped roll-ups in a freezer bag and freeze them for up to six months (although ours never seem to last that long!).

ENJOY!
