Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
  • 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Wash and gently pat dry your berries. Remove stems from strawberries.
  2. Combine berries, water, honey/maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth.
  3. Pour the berry puree into a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the puree thickens slightly, about 1-2 hours. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Line a dehydrator tray or baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  5. Pour the thickened puree onto the prepared surface, spreading it evenly into a thin layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
  6. Dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 4-8 hours, or bake in a preheated oven at 170°F (77°C) for 3-6 hours, with the door slightly ajar, until pliable and no longer sticky.
  7. Let the fruit leather cool completely. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into strips.
  8. Gently peel the fruit roll-ups from the mat or parchment paper. Roll each strip up tightly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Lightly oil the parchment paper. Adding a tiny, extremely thin layer will ensure that the roll up comes off the surface easier.
