Instead of buying fruit roll-ups, make your own! This is a fun project for kids.

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add peaches or apricots to water for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water, then slip off the skins. Slice the fruit, discarding the pits. You should have 10 cups.

• Transfer to a large saucepan. Add salt and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour into a blender and process until smooth. Cool to lukewarm.

• Spray 4 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the purée ¼″ thick on the prepared sheets, about 12″ × 15″ each.

• Preheat oven to 150°F. Place the baking sheets in the oven and leave the door ajar. Let the fruit mixture dry for 12 to 16 hours, until no indentation remains when the surface is touched. Rotate and turn the baking sheets from time to time. Let leather cool completely.

• To store, roll up the “leather” in plastic wrap. Wrap in more plastic wrap and seal tightly. The leather will keep at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for 1 month, or in the freezer for 6 months.
