Raspberries

6 lbs is about 24 cups

Directions:

1. Line your trays with parchment and spread the raspberries out evenly. 
2. Pre-freeze until solid or go straight into the freeze dryer. 
3. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 33 hours in a mixed load)
4. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

Rehydration:

Not intended for rehydration.  They do not rehydrate well.  They are an excellent snack or throw them in your favorite recipe!  Blending them in a smoothie or cup of yogurt is my favorite way to enjoy freeze dried raspberries - so good!

Notes:

Fresh raspberries have a short shelf life so freeze drying them is a fabulous way to save them.  They are low in calories but very high in fiber and Vitamin C!
