Apricot Fruit Leather Rolls is a traditional dessert/snack in Bahrain and the surrounding Middle Eastern region. The recipe uses dried apricots that have been pulped into a mixture, which is then left to bake for hours to create a thin, sheet-like roll. The sweet and aromatic roll is then cut and rolled up into a bite-sized piece that is easy to snack on. This recipe is a healthier alternative to many store-bought fruit snacks, which often have added sugars and preservatives. Apricot Fruit Leather Rolls can easily be adapted to include other fruits, such as strawberries, peaches, or mangos.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 140°C.
2.	Place the dried apricots in a heat-resistant bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave them for 30 minutes to soften.
3.	Drain the apricots and place them in a blender or food processor with honey and sugar.
4.	Puree until the mixture becomes smooth.
5.	Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 1/4-inch thickness.
6.	Bake in preheated oven for 4 to 6 hours or until fruit mixture is no longer sticky.
7.	Remove from oven and let cool.
8.	Using kitchen scissors, cut the fruit leather into strips of about 1-inch wide and 12-inch long.
9.	Roll the strips tightly into a roll and serve.
