Fruit roll-ups are simple.We will be making strawberry/mango and strawberry/frozen blackberries.We didnt add sugar,I like em fine without.



Into blender...



Puree....



Onto a tray covered with parchment paper or wax paper if you have that....spread it around 1/8th inch thick



Now the strawberry/blackberry mix



Puree



Onto tray,looks nice,spread it out....



Into the dehydrator until dried and pliable,maybe tomorrow be done? Our dehydrator is 117F.

That looks awesome! I have a very nice L'Quip dehydrator that I haven't used in awhile. Probably have to try that out. I've been itching to try veggie rollups, too.

Good one Phaedrus on mentioning that brand.Have one of those,its one we loan to the family/friends,a VERY capable machine,like them a lot (thrift store find,woohoo!)

Can dehydrate fast,dries evenly in my experience doing fruits and veggies,adjustable temp.Mine doesnt have computer controls so cant speak to that.

So let me to be second to recommend that machine,for price I think its a very good one.

Its on Amazon among others...

Yeah, just like fruit leather but with veggies. I'm not sure if all veggies would work but I'd think many would. Less sugar and stuff, I don't like to eat a lot of carbs, especially from sugar.

Yes,we try to avoid as many fillers from the actual food too.Why we like processing what we can,to the extent we can.

Never tried that. I did dehydrate cottage cheese once! It was weird but not really bad.
