• Nov. 21, 2005 - Making Fruit Roll-ups

A great friend of mine from my old job gave us this food dehydrator about six months ago and I have just gotten around to using it in the last week.  I can't believe how wonderful it is!  We are making all sort of yummy treats.  Today we threw some more apples on it and we are also making, for the first time, fruit roll ups!  Yum!  The fruit roll ups are very simple.  I took some frozen strawberries and defrosted them, then I added about a quarter to a half a cup of honey and blended them to a paste.  We poured the delicious smelling mix on the flat sheet and now we wait for 8-10 hours at 135 degrees.  The apples will be done in 4-6 hours at the same temperature.  We will have to let you all know how they taste tomorrow! I am so excited to use this for dehydrating vegetables as well because then I can buy them in bulk when they are on sale and keep them as long as I need them.  I am also looking forward to making granola bars...but I have to buy some granola.  What a wonderful invention!

I can't wait to hear how they turn out! I've got a recipe for fruit leather (I guess same as the roll-ups) but you cook them in the oven for a very long time. Haven't tried it yet... Marsha
