Nutrition: Fruit "Roll Up"

What you will need:

Fresh fruit or frozen fruit(around 3 cups)
*Sweetener(optional) 

*if your fruit is naturally sweet enough, you won't have to ask anything. If you decide to add a sweetener you can use granulated sugar, honey, splenda, or agave syrup just to name a few.

I used 2 tablespoons of agave syrup just to see how it would turn out. The notes I read is that the flavors and sweetness intensify after drying. 

I wanted to find something as easy as possible. 

Put all the items into the blender and get it as smooth as possible. Line a pan with plastic wrap, the temperature is going to be so low in the oven that it won't melt. You won't need a ton of overhang, smooth as the wrinkles. You can also use a silicone if you have it.

Pour mixture in pan and smooth out evenly. Cook in the oven at 170 degrees, that's the lowest temperature me oven would go. The cook time will be 6-8 hours. If you're not going to be at home and you don't want to keep it on, it's okay to turn it off. I turned my oven off overnight and started cooking it again in the morning. You can test to see if it's done by pressing the center and it should not stick to your finger. The edges will cook faster than the center. 

**Different combinations of fruit have different flavors, so the possibilities are endless. Since the drying process time some time, make different batches.


I let the fruit defrost
