Title: Fruit Roll Ups
Post by: spuds on September 22, 2014, 11:48:17 PM

One way of making them.....
======================

Fruit roll-ups are simple.We will be making strawberry/mango and strawberry/frozen blackberries

Into blender...

Puree....

Pour on a tray covered with wax paper if you have that (Saran Wrap works really well too,or the trays made for them)....spread it around 1/8th inch thick

Exactly, my kids eat a ton of the store bought ones. You just convinced me to order the dehydrator I was on the fence about. Thanks for sharing this.

Yup,same here.And to buy veggies/fruits on sale in season,dehydrate,save some money. The crummy store tomatoes taste good when dehydrated surprisingly.
