FRUIT ROLLS 
Coat an 11x16 inch cookie sheet with non-grease spray or stick. Use 4 cups of puree fruit. Applesauce of 1/2 cup gives fruit extra body.

Spread fruit evenly on the sheet so that it is no more than 1/4 inch thick. Dry puree in a slow oven about 150 degrees with the door open a crack for 6-8 hours. When dry, the leather will be translucent, pliable, and barely sticky. Peel the fruit leather from the pan and roll and slice it into 8 small, individual rolls, each = 1/2 cup fruit.

VARIATION; CRANBERRY-APPLESAUCE ROLLS:

16 oz. can cranberry sauce
30 oz. can applesauce

Blend 2 together, then dry in 2 pans. Will be quite moist and sticky because of high sugar content of cranberries.

 Amy says:
Something else is making it sticky, NOT the sugar from the cranberries. There's only 4.4 grams of sugar in a whole cup of them. Your recipe calls for two cups so there's a grand total of 9 grams of sugar from the cranberries divided by how many pieces you cut it into. Compare that to the 13 grams of sugar in 1 cup of apple!!! And there's almost twice as much apple as cranberry in this recipe. Don't pass on false information, do your research :-)
