Trinity went to Sam's Club and bought some Sweet Potatoes. After chopping them up, she roasted them and put them in the Freeze Dryer. Along with two trays of Jalepenos and some bananas.

I love your island! Are those bottoms of shotgun shells? Interesting!
Yes they are! Thank you!
You know adding oil will greatly shorten your shelf life... right?
Share your vacuum sealer please is it homemade
The cost of a freeze dryer is outrageous!
It would be very helpful if you told us how many pounds you use for your (medium or large dryer). For me planing it first time, I have no idea how much to prepare.
Awesome job Trinity! 😊
Thank you!! 🤗 They were so good! I'll be making more!
This was great Trinity! Can’t wait to get ours and follow along/share ideas with you guys. What an asset to have with a garden like you guys had this year!
Cant wait to do more with it!
Mmm sweet potatoes are the best
I know right?!?! I'll be making more soon. Maybe with some brown sugar!
Did you make your own jar vacuum sealer? That looks interesting, can you share how it’s made?
Does that model not have the insulation disc in the front? I saw the stivers didn't have one in theirs either, never saw one that hadn't had that. Really wish we could get one, one day 😁 thanks for sharing!
No it doesn't need one. The newer models doesn't have the insulation disc.
@@BlueCollarHomestead oh that's awesome!! I'd love to watch it 😉 glad they got rid of it!
Using the oil was a very bad idea for the freeze dryer. But putting things in a plastic bag was very short term anyway. You are nor fully drying your bananas if they are soft or tacky. You needed to add more time to anything that feels tacky when you check them. Also when checking if anything feels a little cold you know it needs more time.
Great video! I hope one day we can get a freeze dryer.
It's a wonderful investment!!
That’s awesome!! Freeze dryer is on my wish list!
We love it, just not the price tag! 😂
Have you noticed if the bananas take on the smell/flavor of the jalapeños?
Not at all. There doesn't seem to be any crossing of flavors at all.
Thanks! That’s good to know.
That is one thing we have got to invest in in the very near future. So many great things you can freeze dry. We planted 4 Jalapeno from seeds and have grown more than we could use this year. Thanks for sharing.
Same with the jalapenos. Too much out there for our current needs. LOL!
The freeze dryer has been a great asset here, cant wait to do more with it! Full meals freeze dried coming soon!
Great video!
Thank you! If you two have any questions on it, we're happy to answer them for you!
G'day guys.
Enjoying this so much.
Interesting what you said earlier about the oil changes.
All the best,
Daz.
Since you poured oil over the sweet potatoes have you noticed any of them going rancid? I know oil is the enemy of freeze drying.
Did you happen to check those bananas with a moister meter? If they are gumming they probably still have some moister in them.
I puréed my bananas, poured them on my pans, froze them, freeze dried them and then powdered them in my blender. We LOVE banana shakes! Turned out perfect. I’m trying the sweet potatoes tomorrow and thinking about using my salad shooter to get even slices. You’re right in that we aren’t getting any younger! Did you blanche your jalapeños or just slice and freeze?
Trinity thanks! Question: I see you using your food saver for storage. What is the benefit over Mylar bags?
Hi Jill! Thanks for watching and your question.
Since this video the food saver bags didn't hold up in preserving the food as we thought it would. We found that the plastic is breathable whereas the mylar bags aren't so much. We have also found sealed jars with the oxygen absorbers work well also.
