Strawberry Roll Ups or fruit leather is an old method to preserve fruit. In the summer when strawberries are plentiful and fresh, this is another great way to enjoy them.
Homemade fresh strawberry fruit roll ups taste amazing, look amazing, and are so much fun to make and eat! You can make these all natural strawberry roll-ups without any artificial flavors or colors or any fancy equipment. It is a healthy and tangy snack which is very easy to make. Have them whenever you feel like having a candy, you will love these more, I guarantee. Or switch with other favorite fruit of choice, my other favorites are mango and raspberry mixed with strawberry.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3-4 hours
- 3 - 4 cups of chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2-3 tbsp of maple syrup or sugar ( optional )
Notes
- Make sure to check frequently after 2 hours. Over doing them will result in a crispy texture.
- You can use many other fruits or a mix of fruits.
- If you want to fasten the process, first cook down the fruit puree for 4-5 minutes on the stove top on medium heat, till it becomes slightly thick, then bake in the oven.
- They will be done when they are no longer sticky to touch.
- If the edges seem very dry, rehydrate ( brush ) with some water.
Procedure
1. Preheat the oven at the lowest setting ( Mine was 170F / 80C ).
2. Puree strawberries in a food processor / blender with lemon juice. Add sugar or maple syrup if using.
3. Spread a layer of the puree on a baking sheet ( my tray was 13 x 9 ) lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread the mixture into a thin even layer.
4. Place in the oven at the lowest setting for about 3-4 hours or until it no longer feels sticky to touch.
4. Remove and cut into thin strips using scissors or pizza cutter.
5. Roll up and enjoy whenever you feel like having a refreshing pick me up. These can be stored in an airtight container for upto a week.
