Here’s how you make them. It is simple and direct. The biggest part is cutting them into strips and rolling them up at the end.
You will need a food dehydrator for this recipe. The hands on time is fairly short. They dehydrate for 18 hours, and you need do nothing while that is happening!
Cooking Time
20 Minutes to prep them, then hands off time…….Dehydrate approximately 18 hours at 135 degrees F.
Yields
25 to 30 Roll Ups
Ingredients
2 Pints of Fresh Blueberries
2 Cups of Fresh Pineapple
2 Tablespoons of Pure Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon of Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon of Quality Gelatin
2 Tablespoons of Hot Water
Directions
Clean the blueberries with a fresh cool water rinse and place them in a high speed blender. Chop the fresh pineapple into chunks, and add it to the blender with the blueberries. Add the maple syrup and lemon juice. Blend until pureed. Now you will add the gelatin. Heat 2 tablespoons of water in your microwave until very hot. Whisk the gelatin into the hot water until it is foamy. Pour this into the blender with the blueberry pineapple mixture, and blend until smooth and incorporated.
Set out six dehydrator trays (my dehydrator is an Excalibur) and line them with non-stick drying sheets that go with your brand of dehydrator). Pour the fruit roll up mixture evenly onto six sheets. Pick up the sheets and swirl by tipping them to spread then out into 8″ circles.
Dehydrate at 135° degrees for approximately 18 hours, or until they are no longer tacky in the center but not crispy. They should still be pliable.
Remove the fruit roll ups from the dehydrator and cool. After they are cool, using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, slice each roll up into strips. Cut parchment the same width as the fruit strips and roll them up with the parchment. Tie with a string. Place them in a sealed container and store at room temperature.
