Great Video, JoeP

Thank you, I am going to make a huckleberry powder using this technique!

[@thebookofjoep7676]

WOW that sounds great. Please let me know how it turned out and how you used it.

What temperature was the freeze dryer on and how long did it take to freeze dry the purée?

[@thebookofjoep7676]

I have the time it took in my freeze dryer journal but I am in the middle of moving and building a new homestead so it is all packed away. The freeze dryer has a preset for freezing and drying the only thing that changes is the time it takes to complete the job. Each item and amount of each item will change the end time. the freeze dry comes with a book to help with each item and how much time it should take.

I hope you weighed the trays. That the only way you will tell if everything if fully dry.

[@thebookofjoep7676]

Yes I keep a record of all weigh in and out of each tray.

Unfortunately that is not the way to tell if dried. Moisture sensor. The only thing you’re doing by weight is rehydration calculations.

Why does no one ever show the temp and times for fucks sake the video is pointless without the temp and times

[@thebookofjoep7676]

Not sure what temp and time you are looking for. would you clarify.

Did you add any sugar to the purée or it’s just straight berry juice? How did you get the seeds out?

[@thebookofjoep7676]

@@elainevang9114 Hi, No sugar was added. We just smashed down the berries and cooked the berries down until the berry mixture thicken. When it cooled we poured through a strainer.
