Make simple, nostalgic fruit snacks using fresh strawberries. This recipe delivers a fun, packable treat perfect for picnics.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pectin (optional, for setting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lightly grease the liner.
  2. Combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the strawberries break down and the mixture simmers, about 10 minutes.
  4. If using pectin, stir it in now and continue to simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Carefully transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until completely smooth.
  6. Pour the puree onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick.
  7. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (95 degrees Celsius) for 2 to 3 hours, or until the fruit mixture is dry to the touch and no longer sticky. Check every 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the sheet.
  9. Once cool, carefully peel the fruit leather off the parchment paper.
  10. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the leather into strips about 1 inch wide.
  11. Roll each strip tightly to create your homemade fruit snacks. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For easier rolling, place the dried fruit leather on a sheet of plastic wrap before slicing.
  • If you want a more intense strawberry flavor, reduce the sugar slightly.
  • This recipe makes excellent healthy rollups for lunchboxes.
