Make fruit roll-ups at home

image of homemade apricot fruit rollupsWhen I was a kid, my mom was one of those health-conscious parents* who refused to pack chips, twinkies or Halloween candy in my lunch. Occasionally, my sister and I could wear down her resistance enough to convince to buy fruit snacks (gussied up gummy bears) or fruit leather but those days were very few and far between. I think though, that had she been aware of this recipe for homemade fruit roll-ups, I could have gone through the lunch period each day in elementary school feeling incrementally less deprived, as it would have given me a treat that would have looked very similar to the stuff that the rest of the kids were eating.

*I cursed her in those days, but am now pretty darn grateful that she was being so careful that we ate well.
