freeze dried berries

Freeze-drying berries couldn’t be easier, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite ways to preserve that summer flavor. Follow this simple tutorial for freeze-drying berries from fresh or frozen.

Freeze-Drying Berries

berries (fresh

After properly preparing the fresh berries (see directions in post above), arrange them on the freeze-dryer trays.

Add trays to freeze-dryer, press “Start,” then select “Not Frozen.”

The freeze dryer will have a timer to tell you when the food has frozen. Then you’ll need to come back and select the next steps on the machine.

Follow the prompts on the screen.

After 24-36 hours, the freeze-dryer will say, “Process Complete.” Hit “Warm Trays” before opening the door to check the berries. (See “How to Know if Freeze-Dried Food is Done” in post above.)

If berries are completely freeze-dried, move on to the next step. If you feel any signs that they’re not entirely done, put them back into the machine for an additional 4-6 hours.

Store freeze-dried berries in Mason jars or mylar bags.

Freeze Drying Fresh Berries

Hit start on the freeze-dryer, then select “Pre-Frozen.” This will cool the freeze-dryer down before you add the trays so everything stays frozen.

While the freeze-dryer is dropping in temperature, prepare and arrange the frozen berries on the freeze-dryer trays.

Once the freeze-dryer is ready, add trays of frozen berries to the machine.

After 24-36 hours, the freeze-dryer will say, “Process Complete.” Hit “Warm Trays” before opening the door to check the berries. (See “How to Know if Freeze-Dried Food is Done” below.)
