How to Make Dried Fruit Roll Ups
- Prepare the fruit: Wash and chop 10 cups of peaches, nectarines, or plums into very fine pieces. Reserve all the juices.
- Combine fruit and sugar: In a large saucepan, combine the chopped fruit, its juices, and 15 tablespoons (or 225g) of granulated sugar. Mix well.
- Bring to a boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook to 180°F: Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until a candy thermometer reads 180°F (82°C).
- Cool slightly: Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
- Blend until smooth: Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until completely smooth and free of any lumps.
- Reduce and thicken: Return the blended mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has reduced by half and reaches the consistency of a thick paste. This will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Prepare the trays: Line baking sheets or trays with plastic wrap or parchment paper, lightly greased with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Spread the fruit mixture: Spread the fruit mixture evenly onto the prepared trays to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Dehydrate: There are two options for drying: (a) Place the trays in direct sunlight for 12-24 hours, covering loosely with cheesecloth to prevent insects. Or (b) Bake in a 250°F (120°C) oven for 4-6 hours, checking frequently to prevent burning and rotating for even drying.
- Check for doneness: Fruit roll-ups are done when the edges pull away from the plastic and the center is no longer sticky when cooled.
- Peel and roll (optional): Carefully peel the fruit leather from the plastic wrap. You can roll it up for easier storage and serving.
