These are my homemade take on traditional Fruit-Roll-Ups, using fresh fruit and natural sweetener. Using agave instead of sugar makes these healthier than the grocery-store version. You can use other types of fruit, such as raspberries and peaches. To use frozen fruit, thaw first, and then drain off any juices before blending.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound strawberries (hulled and quartered)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 small lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon agave

Instructions

  1. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 170°F or the lowest setting on the oven. Line a rimmed heavy baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Place the strawberries, lemon juice, and agave in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the puree onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread the puree evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 7 hours until the center of the puree has set and is not sticky when touched.
  2. Using scissors, cut the baked puree into 1- inch wide strips and roll up between strips of parchment paper. Alternatively, the baked puree can be cut into shapes using decorative-edged scissors or cookie cutters.
