Midnight Munchies

That looks like a roll of red sweet candy.
Because it is.
And we all know, that red and blue candies are the best kinds.

Homemade fruit roll-ups (or fruit "leathers") are incredibly easy to make. I followed the idea behind a few recipes but decided on my own fruit and measurements and made about four of these bad boys. Most of the recipes I found were a boiled concoction of water and apricots with a little bit of sugar. Here's the recipe I made up on the spot:

1 container of strawberries, chopped into quarters
2 white peaches, pitted and chopped into small chunks
About half a cup or so of apple sauce
About a quarter cup of lemon juice
Gratuitous amounts of strawberry daiquiri malt beverage
Two spoonfuls of pure cane sugar
(Using organic ingredients makes you cooler btw, so try it)

Boil until mushy and reduced, and mash with wooden or plastic spoon. Blend with a stick blender until silky, silky smooth.
Ladle onto parchment paper squares (at whatever circular dimensions you desire), about a quarter of an inch thick.
Place in a dehydrator overnight (about eight hours)*

*An oven placed at the lowest temperature (125-150) will do the same trick. Might even be faster.

Makes about four eight inch circles that peel off of the parchment paper easily.

No fake plastic stuff like the ones you buy in a box, and taste just as darn good.
Mine have a candy-like flavor from the lemon juice and the alcohol (which boils off, duh) and are perfectly tart like fresh strawberries.
