  4. Cut when cool. Store in freezer in ziplocks, should last a year. Perfect for school lunches.

(if skins of fruit are bitter, it may behoove you to skin the fruit first, in which case, use 28 plums)

Enjoy! (again, more detailed fruit roll up directions here)

    Your recipe has made me the house hero! I made them last year to rave reviews. In fact, I have a batch of nectarine roll ups in the oven right now!

    What a great idea! I know when our children were small they loved the store-bought ones. I wish I had this idea years ago. Now, I want some and I’m not even a fan of roll-ups. lol

    My son loves fruit roll ups. I would love to try and make some myself, for him one day. Your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    why would you put it in freezer. I’ve just put it in freezer bag and then into the snack drawer. My grandmother used to roll up the paper whole into tall canning jars and i would just rip off a large piece of paper off the roll and then rip off the leather bit by bit off the paper.
