Could you ask them pretty please on my behalf for their recipe? I make rollups but they don't turn out nearly so nice...

Eventually that elevation became sea level.

This is Jack (everybody say HI JACK! You have to shout, he's spry, but deaf) cavorting on the day after the day after Christmas. Good thing I finished my work the day before the day after the day after Christmas. That stuff is cold. And wet.

Hi Jack!

Shouting HI JACK will get you thrown off the plane.

Lil G runs a very experimental kitchen but its basically:
Three cups fruit, 2-3 tablespoons sugar (handful), splash of lemon juice (protects the color) blend the shit out of it, pour into a pan lined with plastic wrap or a silpat, spread thin, put in low temp oven 170/180 for maybe 5 hours but check it often. bendy not squishy.

This one was strawberry/blueberry and a little orange marmalade.

Hi Jack!

HI JACK!!!

Bummer, I was hoping for some secret technique I must be missing. I do all that, but I can't seem to get the dryness level right yet. They're either flakey and papery, or too gooey to hold together. Which I know means I need to spread it less thin and/or cook it longer, but for some reason I haven't found the perfect combination that I can replicate every time yet. Ah well, I'll just keep at it.

The moisture can be tricky so they stay away from apples. Blueberries strawberries mango peaches raspberries blackberries have all had good results. The edges tend to be flaky if the middle is perfect.

Wait, because apples are juicy? What about pears, bad too, I bet? All of mine are a berry mixed with a base of apple/pear/lemon because it sweetens and eases the flavor concentration of whatever berry I'm using. Maybe I'll try just pure peaches or something, see how that goes...

I wish I had a scientific answer but they don't seem to breakdown properly.

Maybe one of those dehydrators, that are used to make jerky, would be easier to control than the oven?

Sorry this is all so belated.
I took my laptop to London, but of course I couldn't get the free WiFi connection. I swear hotels just put it on their websites to sucker you in!

A Merry Christmas (and more appropriately now) a Happy New Year to you all!

And Mum LOVED her hand-knitted hat from Limey.
She told me she's been wearing it since she got home.
THANK YOU.

Her hair started to fall out on Boxing Day. By the time she got home, she was leaving a trail of hair everywhere. She had it shaved today, all the better for her wig to fit (and not to eat hair every time she leaned over a meal)

More to follow in different threads.

Just guessing that maybe adding some pectin might help it along.
