Guacamole!

Remember I was freeze drying all those avocados? They finished up about 24 hours sooner than I had expected. I ended up with 6 quarts of freeze dried avocado. It isn’t crumbled really fine but it is crumbled.

This is what wouldn’t fit into the jars. I didn’t want to go grab a pint and didn’t want to partially fill a quart so Vince and I ate some of it in the freeze dried state before I made guacamole.

This was probably about 1/5th of what fits on a tray and I had three trays filled with the avocado.

Below shows about the size I crumbled the avocado into for adding to the jars.

All of what is shown on the tray is crumbled into that bowl. I added about water and lime juice til it was rehydrated and looking like mashed fresh avocado.

With a little onion, jalapeno, garlic and chopped tomatoes, it tasted exactly like fresh guacamole.

Vince said it was so good we’ll never have to go back to the Mexican restaurant for guacamole. That’s about the only reason we went out to eat Mexican – for their good guacamole.

I’m glad it turned out good but it’s obviously oily. After crumbling it, my hands were greasy – not terribly but enough so that the freeze dried avocado should probably be used within a couple of years.
