AFTER SCHOOL FRUIT ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine fruit, honey and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon peanut butter, leaving a 1-inch border. Spoon fruit filling down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired. Fold in 2 sides of tortilla to meet in center, then roll up, bottom to top. Place seam-side down. Halve each tortilla on a sharp diagonal.

FRUIT ROLLS

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F or the lowest setting on the oven. Line a rimmed heavy baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Place the strawberries, agave and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the puree onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the puree evenly leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the baking sheet using a spatula.
• Bake until the center of the puree has set and is not sticky when touched, 6 to 7 hours.
• Cut into 1-inch-wide strips using scissors and roll up between strips of parchment paper.
• Alternatively, the baked puree can be cut into shapes using decorative-edged scissors or cookie cutters.

FRUIT ROLL-UP

Steps:

• Mix applesauce and Jell-O.
• Spread in food dehydrator, or a fruit leather tray, or a plastic wrapped tray.
• Dry by your dehydrator's manufacturer's instructions, until no wet spots are left.
• I have used all sorts of fruit puree not just apple sauce.
• Use your favorite flavor of Jell-O.

REAL-FRUIT ROLLS

Steps:

• Puree berries or chopped stone fruit, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook in a saucepan over medium heat until thick, 30 to 35 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve onto a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat; tilt to distribute. (Use a pan that isn't warped to prevent pooling.) Bake at 170 degrees until dehydrated, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut into eight 4 1/2-by-5 1/2-inch rectangles. Roll in parchment. store at room temperature for up to 1 month -- or 2 seconds, depending on your kids' appetites.
