Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups: Nectarine & Sage

As a child, my mother would take me to the local health food store and it was always a treat to get a fruit roll-up.
Back then, the flavor choices were pretty basic. You had: apple, grape, cherry, and I think they added peach or apricot.
Now the roll-ups come in every color (artificial) and flavor (also artificial) under the sun, with little to no nutritional value.

When you make your own fruit roll-ups, you have control over the ingredients and flavors.
As an added bonus, this recipe will help you utilize any left over fruit or fruit that is almost too ripe.
