Raspberry-Blueberry Fruit Roll Recipe (2024)

Raspberries and blueberries are the perfect berry combination when creating a fruit leather roll. Raspberries are full of vibrant, red coloring, and lots of flavor, but not as much fruit pulp. Blueberries on the other hand are only colorful on the outside- white and full of pulp on the inside.

When you blend together blueberries and raspberriesyou end up witha vibrant red,juicy, slightly tart berry flavor. I like my “sweets” a bit tart so I prefer to keep the flavors simple and without additional sugar, but if you like things a bit sweeter then feel free to add a 1/2 Tbsp. to 1 full Tbsp. of honey.

Raspberry-Blueberry Fruit Leather Recipe

These fruit leathers are incredibly easy to make. Using a 1:1 ratio on the fruits you can make as manyor as few rollups as you want.

And it only requires 2 ingredients

Blueberry
Raspberry (three if you want to add some honey).

Toolsyou’ll need:

Berries
Blender
Dehydrator
Parchment paper
After washing your berries (careful, raspberries will stain just about everything with which they come into contact). Measure out your berries (I used wild black raspberries, but red raspberries will work just as well with this recipe and will probably make it just a bit sweeter). You will use a 1:1 ratio with the berries, so they don’t need to be measured with a measuring cup or anything, just so that you’re using the same amount for both blueberries and raspberries.

Place the berries in a blender and pulse them until you have a nice blend of the two. You want everything to be as liquid as possible, as it will then dry out faster in the dehydrator (or oven).

Pour out your pureed liquid onto parchment paper or plasticwrap (not the clingy kind). I have found that plasticwrap is much easier to remove from the fruit leather after dehydration is complete, but I am always a bit wary of anything plastic when it comes to cooking so I use parchment paper quite a bit as well. It’s all personal preference.

It’s important to spread out your puree so that you have about 1/8″ thick at the center and 1/4″ thick on the edges- this way the edges won’t dry out and become too brittle before the center is completely dehydrated.

Dry the fruit puree for 5to 6 hours at 135 degrees in the dehydrator – I use the Excalibur 9 Tray Deluxe Dehydrator and love it since I can do so much more drying at once but you can also use the oven. It may take a bit less or a bit more depending on your climate and atmosphere, so don’t be afraid to check a few times to see how it’s drying. Don’t let it dry so long that it’s brittle and breaks to the touch. You want to be able to roll them for easy storage and eating!

When you remove your fruit leather from the dehydratoryou’ll know that itis done when you can peel it back off the parchment paper or plastic wrap. Feel free to eat right then and there, or roll up and place in the freezer for long term storage.

Enjoy all winter long in school lunches, as after school snacks or for a healthy breakfast treat on the run!

Note: Raspberries do have a lot of seeds so will add a bit of texture to your fruit roll. If you can’t handle the texture you can use a cheese cloth and drain all the liquid through that, but it will take much longer. Plus raspberry seeds are healthy and good for you.
