The store bought fruit rolls are loaded with sugar.

I don’t add sugar to my fruit rolls. Most fruits have enough sugar to make these fruit rolls sweet.

You can make these in the oven and even in a solar oven. I’ve been experimenting using both types of ovens.

Who knew it is so easy to make these at home. With little effort, I have been making these and the boys are super excited that they get to have these fun, and healthy snacks again!

I love how evenly they cook in the solar oven. I would have to say it’s my preferred method. I can’t wait to try other recipes dehydrating more stuff in the solar oven! Do you know How to Make Fruit Rolls? It is easy lets get started!

Instructions

  • Puree fruit in a food processor.
  • Preheat oven to lowest temperature, usually 170º F  – if using the Sunflair Solar Oven , you can turn it upside down. This helps to keep a lower temperature for dehydrating!
  • Cover large baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Spread pureed fruit onto parchment paper
  • Make sure to spread evenly, or it will not cook evenly and you will end up with some being well done and some not even close.
  • If using the Sunflair Solar oven be sure to use the baking rack it elevates the pan to help make sure that there is proper circulation.
  • Bake for 7-8 hours – this time may vary
  • You know it is done when there are no more soft spots or gooey fruit. It should all be solid and dry.
  • Pull it out of the oven and set it aside to cool
  • Keep the fruit rolls on the parchment paper and use scissors to cut out strips long ways

Notes

These should keep in the fridge for about a week. I have not tried freezing them but I am sure they would probably freeze well. They are so good, we just gobble them up immediately!

    • The solar oven would be too hot inside for them, they would burn up. It is an oven a real oven! You have use pot holders to take out a pan just as you would a pan in a regular oven. We have lots of ants here, and they have never been a problem! I even cooked a s’more pie!

    • Awesome, they taste fantastic. I tried to make just strawberry and it turned out not sweet enough. I also did just banana and it was like eating banana paper. Weird. Anyhow, together they are fabulous. The banana lends sweetness and the strawberries lend a good texture!
