*Scroll down for the recipe with simple ingredients and instructions!

• Strawberries: Use fresh, washed, hulled, and halved strawberries — this is your flavor base.
• Honey (optional): The honey is optional, but it does add a touch of extra sweetness to bring out the strawberry flavor. Totally fine to skip if you have juice, ripe and flavorful fruit.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fruit Leather

• Puree the strawberries: Place the fresh strawberries into a blender and blend until pureed.
• Cook the puree: Transfer the puree to a pot, add honey (if using), bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Spread & bake: Pour the mixture onto a lined rimmed baking sheet, then bake at 170ºF for 6 hours or until fully dried.
• Cool & cut: Let it cool completely, then invert the pan, peel off the fruit leather, roll it up, and slice it into 1-inch strips. 

How to Tell When It’s Done?

You’ll know the fruit leather is done when it’s darker in color and dry to the touch. If in doubt, give it another hour—don’t let it overcook, or it’ll get crispy instead of pliable. Once it’s out of the oven, let it rest at room temperature for 3–6 hours until it’s soft but not sticky.

How to Cut Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups

Follow these simple steps to cut your homemade fruit roll-ups perfectly!

• Cover the fruit leather with a sheet of parchment paper, then invert the pan gently and peel the leather off the baking mat.
• Roll the fruit leather up, starting from the short side.
• Use kitchen shears to cut the leather into 1” strips, or as desired.

That’s it! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 quarts strawberries washed and hulled and halved
• ¼ cup honey optional

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 170º degrees F, and position a baking rack to the center of the oven. Line a rimmed 18” x 13” sheet pan with a silicone baking mat, or silpat.
• Place strawberries in a blender and puree until smooth.
• Pour strawberry puree into a large pot on the stove and add honey (if using) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour puree into the center of the prepared sheet pan and using a spatula spread the puree evenly almost to the edges of the baking mat.
• Bake in the oven for 6 hours, or until the fruit puree is completely dry to the touch. Let cool completely.
• Lay a sheet of parchment on top of the fruit leather. Invert the leather and gently peel off the mat. Roll up the entire sheet of fruit leather starting from the short side and then cut the leather with kitchen shears into 1” strips, or as desired.
• Store in an airtight container for a few days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes

• Use the correct size sheet pan. When we say sheet pan we are referring to the rimmed half sheet pan which is 18″ by 13″. The size of the sheet pan matters because you want to make sure this is spread to the correct consistency.
• Take care to spread the mixture evenly. If it is too thick in the middle and thin on the edges, the edges will burn before the middle has cooked through.
• The fruit leather will change color when it’s dehydrated enough. Instead of sticking your finger in the mixture prematurely and causing a hole in it (we may have done this a few times) look to check on the color of the fruit leather first. If it has darkened in color throughout, it is likely done and then you can double check by touching it to see if it’s dry. If the middle is a slightly brighter red color than you can assume it’s still uncooked in the middle and you should place it back in the oven to continue to dry.
