Peaches freeze dried

Freeze Drying Tips
Prep ahead for easy loading. Peaches were in season, so peak of sweetness. I can clean, slice or dice, freeze, and then pack away in deep freezer for loading another day! Super easy and delicious! I do this with lemons, cherries, bananas and so much more. My freezer is packed and ready even if I am too busy to cut and place. Since all these were pre-frozen they do not stick together. I place my freezer item in tray and place in my freeze drier.
I get my supplies for Mylar, oxygen absorbers, my favorite way to seal is the PackFreshUSA mini sealer. Here is the link fit the 7 mil Mylar seal top gusset bags! I suggest the sets! packfreshusa.c...

Can't wait to get my Harvest Right. 5-7 week wait. Should arrive early November.

Did you have to blanch and peel your peaches before you froze them for the freeze dryer?

[@pandemicprepsters5222]

No I did not blanch but I peeled. They all turned out great.

It would help to know how you processed them to freeze. If you froze them on trays, could you have moved them directly to the freeze dryer trays or did they need to be frozen longer in the bags? I haven’t freeze dried peaches before.

Hi Robin yes I actually prefreeze all my freeze dried things I often will purchase things when they’re on sale put them on my cookie sheets with parchment paper after I slice them and Dyson or whatever I’m doing. I’ve been pre-freeze once frozen I often put things in Ziploc bags, Place back in my freezer and then when I have trays available I just load up my trays.

Do you put lemon juice on them to prevent browning or is that unnecessary?

[@pandemicprepsters5222]

I sometimes do, however I usually don’t.

Nice. Some suggestions: don't talk directly over your food unless you're gonna eat right away next buy extra trays and prefreez on them to save a lot of time.

[@pandemicprepsters5222]

Yes, I have two sets of trays. I get a huge amount of peaches, so I like to prefreeze and put away for another day.
