Making and Freeze Drying Applesauce

Making and freeze drying a batch of applesauce.Show more

This is part of our Freeze Drying The Alphabet from A to Z series.

In this batch we make about 40 cups of apple sauce with u-pick apples for freeze drying.

We put in some sugar this time; sometimes we don't, it just depends on the apples. As with most recipes, adjust it to suit your tastes batch by batch.
