Drying Fruit Rolls

Fruit rolls are a favorite snack for young and old alike. It is a chewy fruit product

made from puréed fresh fruit, which has been dried and rolled into snack sized

pieces. Fruit rolls are easy to make and cost less than those bought at the store.

Selection

Almost any fruit will make an excellent fruit roll. Most fruits can also be combined

with others.

Some fruits, such as apples, are high in pectin and fiber, and have an excellent

texture when dried. The combinations are limitless. Use your imagination and

have fun!

Use fresh fruit in season. You can also use slightly overripe fruits, irregularly shaped

fruits, or slightly bruised fruits that would be unsuitable for canning or drying.

Some fruits, such as citrus, should be used in combination with other fruits

because they have so much liquid and very little pulp. If you find that a fruit is

too runny, combine it with apple, applesauce or a similar fruit that will give it

more substance.

When fresh fruits are not available, canned fruits (either sweetened or

un-sweetened) can be used. Simply drain the liquid, and pour the fruit into the

blender. Applesauce can be taken directly from the container for wonderful fruit

rolls. Frozen fruits can also be used, although they tend to be a bit more runny.

Simply thaw and follow directions for using fresh fruits.

Preparation

Wash fruits and cut away any bruised or spoiled portions. Purée fruit in a blender

until it is very smooth. In some blenders with some fruits, you may want to add a

little juice or water to start the blending process.

Fruits generally need no added sweetening, but if fruits are under ripe or

particularly tart, you may add light corn syrup or honey. Add 1 or more

tablespoons sweetening for each quart of purée, depending on your preference

(sugar added to fruit rolls tends to become brittle during storage).
