Freeze Drying This Years Apples - 86 lbs

Freeze Drying apples - 2021
We picked about 86 lbs of apples at the beginning of October. We picked about 26 lbs of Golden Delicious and about 60 lbs of Fuji apples. At the time of this video we had finished freeze drying 5 batches of the apples, have a batch in the Harvest Right, and 3 more batches in the freezer awaiting their turn, for a total of 9 freeze dryer loads.

Also, our new apple peeler arrived just in time to use on this years apples.

Freeze dried food will stay fresh for many years and be ready and waiting when you need it.

We do videos showing how we are using our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to freeze dry food for long term storage. (We have the medium size machine that we got in August of 2017) We talk about how to load and unload the freeze dryer, how to know if the food is dry, is it better to freeze dry raw food or cooked food, and do a few taste tests. Freeze dried food is also great for prepping or just for camping and snacking!
