Do you have more strawberries than you know what to do with? These Strawberry Fruit Leathers make a delicious snack & are healthy for you too!

Let me start off by saying that I wrote this post & then I ate all of my Strawberry Fruit Leathers before taking pictures… Major Oops! So I had to make them again… Bummer right? And this time I managed to take pictures!

So now on to the original Strawberry Fruit Leathers post!

Last Friday I noticed that our strawberries were starting to go bad & since we were going to be gone all weekend I knew I had two options, blend & freeze for smoothies or make Strawberry Fruit Leathers. I decided to opt for the Strawberry Fruit Leathers!

I made this decision exactly 6 hours before I expected my husband home (at which point I needed to have us both packed for heading back to Tennessee) & I knew that it took at least 6 hours to bake/dry. So I knew I was hitting it kind of close, but I was determined to have me some Strawberry Fruit Roll Ups no matter what!

Last summer when I shared with you my recipe for Watermelon Fruit Leathers I set my oven at the lowest temperature 175°F & baked it for over 6 hours. I knew I didn’t have a leisurely amount of time to dry out the fruit & since I know there is a chance your oven doesn’t go that low I decided to set my oven to 200ºF. Although they turned out well I have decided that I prefer setting my oven to the lower temperature (175ºF) & baking longer because I noticed that the edges were way crispier than last time, while the center was still slightly sticky.

When I went back to see how much sugar I added to the Watermelon Fruit Leathers I was completely shocked! I definitely did not want to use that much again, actually I didn’t want to use any at all, so I decided to sweeten these Strawberry Fruit Leathers with honey instead. I highly suggest using honey that is local to your area. I have noticed over the years that the more I intake local honey during the spring & fall the more willing I am to go outside & the less I feel like my allergies are slowly trying to kill me.

Another great thing about making these Strawberry Fruit Leathers is that I didn’t have to strain any excess liquid like I did for the Watermelon Fruit Leathers! The process was so simple & fast, I daresay it might have been the quickest prep work I have ever done for a recipe!

These Strawberry Fruit Leathers are the perfect way to use up aging strawberries & they are definitely the most delicious homemade fruit leathers I have ever made!

So without further ado here is my recipe for Strawberry Fruit Leathers!

ps You must make these Strawberry Fruit Leathers, your kids & tastebuds will thank me later!
