Homemade Fruit Roll-ups
- 400 grams Strawberries or Raspberries
- 100 ml Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- Crush the raspberries in a food processor 1/3 at a time and blend until pureed.
- Rinse a pot with water and then pour the berries into the pot.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice and turn the heat to medium.
- Once it begins to simmer and bubbles begin to form, leave it alone and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Use a spatula to stir up the bottom.
- It will become glazed and the bubbles will disappear.
- Let it boil down for 10 more minutes without letting it burn.
- Once it becomes the same texture as jam, turn off the heat.
- Line 2 baking trays with paraffin paper, wax paper, Silpat, or another type of non-stick parchment paper.
- Pour the boiled mixture from Step 4 into the trays from Step 5 and use a spatula to spread it out until 3 mm thick.
- Place into an oven preheated to 75C (170F) and bake for 3-4 hours to dry it out.
- When done, it should be just a tad sticky when touched.
- Place on a cooling rack and let it cool.
- Cut into your choice of size.
- If you place it on wax paper and roll it up, it will be just like store bought "Fruit by the Foot" or "Fruit Roll-ups!"
- Store in a Tupperware (or plastic) container and it will keep for about 1 week at room temperature.
- If you make it on the weekend, you can put them in the kids' lunchboxes during the week.
