Homemade Fruit Leather
Easy recipe for homemade fruit leather, aka fruit roll-ups. These only use 5 ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups, Fruit*
- ½ cup, Water
- 1 Tbsp, Lemon Juice
- ¼– ½ cup, Sugar
- ½ tsp, Cinnamon
Instructions
- Set oven to its lowest setting, 140-150° if possible (mine only goes to 170°)
- Wash your fruit well. If using pears or apples, peel fruit.
- Chop fruit into small pieces.
- Place fruit and water in a large saucepan, bring to a simmer. Cover pan and allow to cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, until fruit begins breaking down.
- Taste your fruit to determine sweetness since you can avoid the sugar all together if the fruit is sweet enough. Add sugar, if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add lemon juice.
- Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Puree mixture in a vented blender, food chopper, or food processor until completely smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper in one solid sheet so that it overlaps up the sides, pour puree on middle of parchment paper and spread with a spatula to 1/8” thickness.
- Place pan in oven for 8-12 hours until fruit puree has dried out and formed fruit leather. It will be smooth and no longer sticky.
- Remove from oven and peel fruit from parchment paper.
- Cut into strips. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
