It seems like it’s been forever since I ordered the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. Actually, it’s been two full weeks and they shipped it right on time. It arrived in Dallas Friday night and the shipper told me it would be delivered this Friday. It was going to be sent from Dallas to Abilene and then here. Yesterday the Abilene people called and said they were going to be delivering it “tomorrow”, which is now today.
I am so excited to get it. The driver said they would be here between 11 and 4. I’m hoping it’s 11 but even if it’s 4, I’ll still be thrilled that it gets here today. I think I have to clean it, then run it through a complete cycle empty. If it gets here early enough, I’ll probably clean it and then get it running. If it’s closer to 4, I’ll probably clean it and wait til in the morning to start it.
What’s the first thing I’m going to freeze dry? Probably fruit. I bought bananas. My friend told me that before she dehydrates bananas, she dips them in pineapple juice and that keeps them from turning brown and adds a yummy flavor. I bought some canned pineapple for the juice so I’ll dry those pineapple rings. I have a fresh pineapple here but VInce may not want me to dry it. Maybe I’ll dry half and keep half not dried.
Whatever time it arrives and whatever I’m freeze drying, you’ll be hearing all about it!

I’m anxious to hear how it all works out. I would be interested in getting one myself.

Very exciting…I did bananas and strawberries as my first load…I didn’t dip them and they turned out just fine. You will love the pineapple, but it does take longer than the other fruit due to the water content…but totally worth it!

Can’t wait to hear all the goodies you freeze dry. Maybe stock up on your favorite ice cream when you can and try freeze drying it. I’ve seen it for sale in the backpacking food section of the outdoor store but haven’t tried it. Have lots of fun experimenting!

Freeze-dried pineapple is great! It’s nothing like dehydrated. Excited to read on and see if it came early or late.
