My two kids love the store bought fruit roll ups and I have bought them many times as a treat to put in their lunch boxes. So when I saw that you could make fruit rolls up at home in your own oven, I knew that I had to try making it with the kids.
Strawberries are becoming abundant in our grocery stores and I got a good deal on several pounds of fresh berries. I kept some aside just for this project and kept my fingers crossed that it would work. Well, it worked like a charm! I had two happy and amazed kids. They said the homemade fruit rolls up were so much more delicious than the store bought variety. **High Five** for Mom!

Ingredients:
2lbs fresh ripe strawberries hulled and washed
juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup of white granulated sugar
Supplies needed:
parchment paper
baking sheet 17x12
blender
Directions:
Note: I used a large nonstick saute pan to boil the puree. I like this type of pan because it keeps the puree from overflowing out of the pan.
Note: Too thin of a layer will cause the roll up to be "crispy"

Allow fruit roll up to cool for 20 minutes. Next take a pair of scissors and cut around the four edges of the parchment paper to give you a even rectangle to cut out the fruit roll up strips.
Then cut strips about 1 inch to 11/2 inch from the longer side of the rectangle. Roll each strip up. Allow to cool to room temperature, then pull apart from the parchment paper and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteLove homemade fruit roll-ups!
ReplyDeleteRamona.....your kids must have been in heaven with this recipe! I can't believe how easy they are to make. I feel guilty for all the times I bought boxes of fruit roll ups for my kids. And with fresh strawberries...they must have tasted so much better!
ReplyDeleteWay better than store bought. I'm sending you a high 5 also!
ReplyDeleteRamona, these look delicious and I'm going to make them with my granddaughter. At what point do you add the lemon juice and sugar?
ReplyDeleteSorry about that... I will corrected that above in the directions. You add the sugar and lemon juice into the pan with the strawberry puree. :) Hope you enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ramona! Looking forward to preparing this!! :)
