Make your own Fruit Roll-ups!


…and when I say fruit roll ups…I mean FRUIT roll ups not fruit flavored roll ups. These super healthy treats are great for kids and much easier than you may think! Plus, you can even use food storage to make it all happen. Yes, sometimes the world is perfect! ;)   Now before you start worrying that you won’t be able to try this because you don’t have a dehydrator-think again!  As long as you have an oven, you can do this!  And did I mention these are much cheaper to make than the real fruit leather you can buy?  Yep-cooking from scratch is a good thing my friends!
Ingredients:
2 cups freeze dried fruit (I like to do 1 c. strawberries and a ½ c. each of raspberries and blueberries)
1/3 cup warm water
Method:
Place fruit and water in blender and blend until very smooth. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Pour fruit mixture onto aluminum foil and spread evenly and thin on top of aluminum foil. Bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes. WITH OUT OPENING YOUR OVEN DOOR, turn the oven off and let sit for 8 hours. After 8 hours, peel fruit leather off aluminum foil and place on wax, parchment or cling wrap. Cut into long strips with scissors and roll up.
