Kids can help with several parts of this recipe. Have them wash the berries and pull off any stems. They can pour in the honey and lemon juice, and they will enjoy spreading the puree over the pan. Of course, rolling up the finished fruit leather is their job!
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, or choose the lowest temperature setting your oven allows.
- Line a large 17×12-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Rinse the berries and remove any stems as necessary.
- Add the berries to a blender or food processor.
- Add the honey and lemon juice, then blend until the fruit mixture becomes smooth.
- For a smoother finish, push the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
- Pour the fruit puree onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer.
- Place the tray in the oven and dry the puree for 5-6 hours, rotating the pan halfway through. Remove it when the fruit has set and no longer feels sticky.
- Allow the pan to cool completely. If you used a silicone baking mat, gently peel the cooled fruit leather from it and transfer it to a large piece of wax paper.
- Cut the fruit leather, still resting on the wax paper, into long strips and roll each one.
- Store the finished fruit roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
