Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups
Learn how to make fruit roll-ups with this easy base recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lbs fruit peeled deseeded, cored
- ¾ cup Domino Golden Sugar
- 1 - 2 tablespoons citrus juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon extract if using
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225°F.
- Add your desired fruit, Domino® Golden Sugar, desired citrus juice, and salt to a blender or food processor. Blend until the fruit is fully pureed and has a smooth consistency. If you are using berries, you can strain out the seeds, if desired.
- Pour the mixture into a thick-bottomed saucepan, and simmer on medium heat.
- Stir frequently, ensuring you scrape the bottom and sides of the saucepan frequently. Continue to cook until the mixture is very thick. This can take up to half an hour. Stir in extract if using.
- Add a silicone baking mat to a rimmed baking sheet, then pour the mixture over the mat. Spread the mixture in and bake for 3 - 3 ½ hours.
- Allow it to cool completely, then peel off from the silicone mat. If the underside feels tacky, flip the fruit and place the sheet back in the oven at the lowest temperature for 20 minutes. Allow to cool again.
- Lay the fruit roll-up on parchment or wax paper. Cut into strips and roll. Place in an airtight container.
Notes
You can use lemon, lime, or grapefruit juice in your fruit roll-ups. Each one will add a little something different to the flavor. I recommend trying out different types to see what you like the best.
Variations:
- Blueberry Pie - Use blueberries, and before you transfer the mixture to the baking sheet, stir in 1 teaspoon each of vanilla and butter extract
- Cherry Berry - Use ¾ lbs of pitted cherries and ½ lbs mixed berries.
- Apple - Use Granny Smith, Honeycrisp Jazz, Gala, or similar apples, peeled, and cored. Add in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground ginger to the blender.
- Strawberry Banana – Use two bananas, and enough strawberries to reach the remaining weight needed. Use the full 2 tablespoons of citrus juice (lemon, recommended)
- Peach - Add ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon along with the peaches to the blender
- Mango Passion Fruit - Omit the citrus juice and add ⅓ cup passion fruit juice along with the mangoes. It may take longer to cook down.
