Trying to find camping snacks (or even just snacks to keep in the car) without horrible ingredients and preservatives is just about impossible, but making them homemade is not hard.
I use whatever fruit is on sale (we pick berries in the summer, this time it was organic mangos) and add some applesauce for a good texture. (Its cheaper for me to buy organic applesauce at Costco than to buy the organic apples and make it myself. In the fall when we can find wild apples, I do make it, but its never enough to last for everything we use it for) Then I toss them in the magic bullet (I leave the peel on if the fruit is organic)
Pour it on the sheet of the dehydrator and put it in to do its thing for a few hours
We use an excalibur dehydrator by the way, only because it is best for beef jerky, and my husband makes the most AWESOME beef jerky, but for fruit roll ups, any kind is fine. The picture is of a 9 tray, but we only have a 4 tray. Had we known how much we would use it, we would have gotten the bigger one!
Then take it out and cut it into strips. (we have kitchen scissors specified just for food and they are probably my most used kitchen tool! I cut these up, use them to open food packages, chop herbs... They are great!)
Andrew also wanted some banana chips so when we finished with the mango roll ups (we made 4 trays) we did a tray of bananas :
We just bought a dehydrator also....though not that nice,just your basic Walmart model. We are new to this and just playing around. I loved reading about your fruit leather....I had no idea about the applesauce....thank you for that.
I have been thinking about camping snacks too. We go into all that lovely nature....and eat hot dogs and marshmallows! How horrible.
Then I toss them in the magic bullet (I leave the peel on if the fruit is organic)
