Homemade Fruit Rolls

It’s the season for watermelon! My in-laws brought over 5 huge watermelons for our family. We love watermelon, but we needed some other ways to use it up. We made watermelon juice, but unlike other fruit, watermelon is hard to keep – I mean, you can’t freeze it, so what can you do with it all?

Homemade Fruit Rolls

Let me start by saying this took me a long time to make!

I have tried to make quick and easy versions which just never turned out for me. This way of making them is fairly easy (especially if you have seedless watermelon), but you really do need to be home for a day to make this recipe.

I feel good about sending these fruit rolls to school with my daughters, or to work with my husband. They are delicious and I love that I know exactly what is in them.  I store them in a glass jar, but I can’t really say how long they stay good – they never last long enough in our house to find out.

Watermelon is obviously a fruit with a lot of liquid – you can use any fruit you like and make them thicker if desired.
