Have you ever wondered how easy it might be to make homemade fruit roll-ups? I thought so. That's why I am sharing this How to Make Peach Fruit Roll-Ups post with you today.
It's pretty easy and boy they taste so good. Homemade fruit roll-ups or homemade fruit leather is so much better for you than store bought fruit roll ups because you are using fresh fruit and have control over the amount of sugar that goes into this favorite kid snack.

About the Ball freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker
Back over the summer I had a chance to test out the freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker from Ball Canning. You may have seen my Roasted Tomatillo Salsa recipe I made using the (affiliate link) freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker.
My recipe won the blogger Can Off competition Ball hosted during the 2016 Can It Forward event! Ball demoed my recipe during the live event. It was very exciting!
Using the freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker for other recipes
What I love about the freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker is that you can make some many other recipes besides tomato sauce with it.
You can make Tomato Sauce, Tomato Paste, Marinara, Ketchup, Pico de Gallo, Salsa Verde, Applesauce, Pearsauce, Salsa, Barbecue sauce, Fruit Jam, Hummus, Pesto, Refried Beans, Soup, Baby Food and Purees. If you love using fresh vegetables and fruits then there is no telling all the other recipes you'll be able to think up once you own the Pro Sauce Maker.
Making Peach Roll-Ups
If you don't have a freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker you can still make this Peach Fruit Roll-Ups recipe but you will have to peel, pit, chop and puree the peaches by hand. A strong blender will work for pureeing the peaches.
That is a lot of work! but homemakers do it every day and have been for hundreds of years so don't think you need the freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker to make fruit roll ups but compared to an expensive blender you can buy the freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker for about a quarter of the price.
The freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker is a bit of an investment but if you make a lot of homemade recipes using fresh fruits and vegetables it might be an investment you are willing to make. It saves so much time. I really couldn't believe how fast processing the fresh peaches was while I was making this fruit rollup recipe.
Christmas Gifts for Foodies
The freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker would make an excellent Christmas gift for the foodie in the family. Anyone who loves to can homemade fruits and vegetables would love the freshTECH Harvest Pro Sauce Maker and if you want to make homemade baby food and can salsa this is an appliance that can be used for many different types of food not just canning.

Recipe Expert Tips
- I used the (affiliate link) BALL® FRESHTECH HARVESTPRO™ SAUCE MAKER with the small screen to make the peach puree. If you do not have an appliance to puree the peaches you can use a blender. Peel the peaches if using a blender or food processer.
