Homemade Nectarine Fruit Roll-Ups: A Delicious and Healthy Snack

Looking for a healthy and delicious snack that's perfect for both kids and adults? Try making your own nectarine fruit roll-ups! These homemade treats are easy to prepare, free from preservatives, and packed with natural fruit flavor. Follow this simple recipe to create your own batch of delightful nectarine fruit roll-ups.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 ripe nectarines
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Nectarines

  • Wash the nectarines thoroughly.
  • Remove the pits and chop the nectarines into small pieces. You can leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.

2. Blend the Fruit

  • Place the chopped nectarines in a blender or food processor.
  • Add the lemon juice and honey or agave syrup if using.
  • Blend until you have a smooth puree.

3. Prepare the Baking Sheet

  • Preheat your oven to the lowest setting, usually around 140°F to 170°F (60°C to 75°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

4. Spread the Puree

  • Pour the nectarine puree onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Use a spatula to spread the puree evenly, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3-6 mm). Try to make it as uniform as possible to ensure even drying.

5. Dry the Puree

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  • Dry the fruit puree for 4-8 hours. The drying time can vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the puree. Check periodically for doneness. The fruit roll-up is ready when it is no longer sticky to the touch and peels away easily from the parchment paper.

6. Cool and Cut

  • Once the fruit roll-up is completely dried, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Carefully peel the fruit roll-up off the parchment paper.
  • Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut it into strips.

7. Roll and Store

  • Roll up each strip with the parchment paper or on its own if you used a silicone mat.
  • Store the fruit roll-ups in an airtight container at room temperature. They should keep for about 1-2 weeks.

Tips

  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup based on the natural sweetness of the nectarines and your personal preference.
  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to add other fruits or a pinch of spices like cinnamon or ginger to the puree for different flavor variations.
  • Uniform Thickness: Ensuring an even thickness of the puree will help with uniform drying and prevent some parts from becoming too dry or sticky.

Conclusion

Enjoy your homemade nectarine fruit roll-ups! These make a delicious and healthy snack that you can enjoy anytime. Whether you pack them in a lunchbox or enjoy them as an afternoon treat, these fruit roll-ups are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
