Instructions

Wash and clean the strawberries or berries you are going to use. You can mix them, use separate types or decorate them as in my video.
Add strawberries into the magic bullet cup or a blender and puree the fruit thoroughly.
If you are using a dehydrator with a round shape, you might need a plastic insert that goes inside each of the dehydrator layers.
Pour the fruit mixture onto the plastic or parchment paper and use an offset spatula to help spread the puree into quarter inch thick layer.
If you want to make it more decorative, look at the video, where I have used a bit of blueberry mixture. I filled that mixture into a syringe and gently pressed small dots on a strawberry layer.
This step is optional, but I have added this as well, in case you want to go more into decorating. As you see in the video, I have further made little star-like streaks out of the dots with a thin metal stick.
Once all the layers are poured and spread, place them one by one on top of each other onto your dehydrator. Switch the dehydrator on for approximately eight hours. Swapping the layers from time to time is advisable so each rack will get fully dehydrated.
When your fruit roll-ups are fully dehydrated, let them cool completely. To check, touch each fruit roll with your bare hands and ensure they are no longer sticky. Gently peel the fruit leather from either plastic, parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
The final step is to pre-cut your fruit skin. You can either roll the whole sheet and, using your scissors, cut it into the desired size.

Notes

Lemon juice - if you use blueberries or blackberries, a few drops of lemon juice will add a nice flavor.
Thickness – do not try to make them extremely thin – dehydrator will dehydrate all the water from the fruit roll-ups, and the sheet will be fragile at the end.
Ready – once the sheets are not sticky anymore to the touch, the roll-ups are fully dry
If it is too dry – spray a bit of water.
