Want to be the world’s most popular mom, dad, grandparent or aunt?
You need to make fruit roll ups/leather. Kids love it. Parents approve it. Because it is super easy, made with real fruits and most of all, you get to adjust the sugar content. And it is fool-proof, I kid you not.
Look out for fruits in peak season because the prices are at their lowest, you like to be kind and not waste. Besides, you need plenty ..
Ingredients
1 tray of strawberries (3.5 kg) or mangoes/passion fruits/guava etc
1-2 cups sugar (or any form of sweet.. honey etc)
1 Lemon (juice)
Method 1
1. Blend the ingredients
2. Reduce on the stove/oven until you get a thick paste (like pasta sauce) OR, skip step 2 but dehydrate at 60c for about 12 – 18 hours*
3. Spread over 3 lined baking trays
4. Dehydrate at 80c on Hot Air for 6 hours
You’ll be the coolest super mom/dad/auntie..
Extra notes:
*Duration varies, depending on the moisture content of the fruits. Feel the finished product. Remove from the pan and continue to dehydrate on a grill rack in the oven if needed. Don’t be tempted to increase the temperature to speed cooking time because the higher the temperature, the duller the colours would be.
