I first experimented with homemade fruit roll-ups last year with this strawberry version, and they were so delicious and such a hit that I had to make them again. Today we’re using fresh plums, which are a bit different than berries in that we’ll need to bake them first to get the natural juices flowing. Then we’ll mix in a bit of cinnamon for flavor and lemon juice to preserve the color. Add honey to suit your taste and throw it in the oven on the lowest temperature it will go!

Have a child allergic to cinnamon. Is there something else you can use in the recipe to replace it?
Amanda Formaro says
You could use any other fall spices, such as allspice, ginger, nutmeg, etc

This looks so good ! I have some really ripe plums will the baking step before processing the fruit honey and lemon cinnamon still be necessary?
Shai says
Made a bunch of these last summer when our plum tree gave up her fruit… and it’s just about that time again. Can’t wait!!! And neither can my daughter… she’s been talking about it ever since the tree started flowering!
