Cool slightly. Put into blender and mix until smooth. 2. Return to heat and cook until the mixture has theconsistency of a thick paste and is reduced by half. 3. Spread fruit ¼-inch thick on plastic-wrapped trays or cookie sheets. Cover pans with a cheesecloth screen, taking care to keep the cheesecloth from touching fruit. 4. Place in direct sunlight for 12 to 24 hours until dry (bring in at nighttime). You can also bake in a 250-degree oven for about 4 hours. Put the fruit on a lightly greased cookie sheet or use foil to line tray. 5. Fruit rollups are done when edges pull back from plastic and center is not sticky when cooled. Ten cups of fruit will cover a 12 x 17-inch tray.
