Did I tell you about the last load of apples in the freezer dryer? I don't think I did. They turned out great. That was the first time I'd ever left the peelings on them. We tried them and both were happy so that saves a lot of time not having to peel the apples. I had slice them very thin and ended up with 9 quarts once they were dried.
Yesterday I got the freeze dryer going again.
Three trays of okra and one tray of tomatoes with an experiment on one end of the tomato tray.
The experiment is corn nuts. I've always loved corn nuts but am a bit afraid to eat them now because of recent dental issues. I saw someone mention they had freeze dried some. I took a jar of hominy I had made from dried corn, rinsed the hominy, drained it on towels for a bit, pushed all the tomatoes together to make room for the corn and we'll see how they turn out. My guess is they're going to be crunchy but easy to crunch and it won't feel like they'll damage my teeth. I did put a bit of Cajun seasoning on them. If this works and we like them, I'll need to get more hominy made so we can have corn nuts.
