Description

These 3-Ingredient Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups are an easy, healthy snack made from fresh or frozen fruit, sweetened naturally with honey and brightened with lemon juice. With no artificial additives, this recipe lets you customize your fruit roll-ups to your favorite flavors and enjoy a delicious, chewy treat perfect for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Base

  • 4–6 cups fresh or frozen fruit (600–700 g) – berries, mango, peaches, or any blend you love

Sweetener and Flavoring

  • 4–6 Tbsp honey (or swap with sugar or a sugar substitute)
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice (60 mL)

Instructions

  1. Prep the fruit: Wash, peel, and chop your chosen fresh or frozen fruit as needed. Place the fruit into a blender and blend until smooth to create a uniform purée.
  2. Sweeten and balance: Add honey and lemon juice to the fruit purée. Blend again until all ingredients are fully combined, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  3. Cook it down: Pour the fruit mixture into a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring frequently. This thickens the purée slightly and concentrates the flavors.
  4. Spread and bake: Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Spread the thickened fruit mixture evenly across the sheets to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  5. Dry it out: Place the baking sheets in an oven preheated to 170°F (75°C). Bake for 4–6 hours or until the fruit roll-ups are no longer sticky to the touch, allowing them to dry and set.
  6. Cool and roll: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the fruit roll-ups cool completely. Cut into strips and roll up with the parchment paper for easy snacking.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with sugar or any preferred sugar substitute to adjust sweetness and dietary needs.
  • Different fruit combinations can yield unique flavors; experiment with berries, mango, peaches, or blends.
  • Ensure the fruit mixture is spread evenly to dry uniformly during baking.
  • Store finished fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For faster drying, a food dehydrator set at the same temperature can be used instead of the oven.
