I used to make LOTS of fruit rolls while raising our 5 children. I would get fruit from local fruit stands that they couldn’t sell due to blemishes or bruising. I would cut out the damaged parts and feed it to our chickens, pigs and sometimes horses and goats. The rest I would puree and freeze until later ( harvest time is so busy!). Then I liked to combine various fruits with 1/3 banana puree. I found that adding the banana made the fruit rolls more flexible. After i processed it in my dehydrator i rolled it up in plastic wrap, tucking the ends in . I have never frozen my fruit rolls and have eaten some that were 7-8 years old. I do keep them in a cooler place. They are great for snacks and my family likes to take them with them when hunting. I also use canned fruit that is starting to get too soft ( after4-5 years). I appreciate the article as if times get bad it’s a great and compact way to store fruit.
