Freeze Dried Fruit Bars

Sep 15, 2022Brian Witmer

Each version makes one large tray full of bars 


Directions:

I used 16 oz  of strawberries (can add whole berry for extra greens)  and 10 bananas for 8 cups

I used 16 oz of frozen peaches and 10 bananas and a dash of water for 8 cups

I used 16 oz blueberries and 13 bananas for 8 cups

  1. Add your fruit of choice to the blender or food processor.  I like to add the juicier fruit first and then add the bananas.   
  2. Line tray with parchment paper 
  3. Pour fruit mixture onto trays and add dividers (I used 20 portions per large tray)
  4. Pre-freeze
  5. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 42 hours)
  6. Remove dividers and store.  These stay in “bar” form and are great for snacks and also store well.

Rehydration:

Not intended to be rehydrated.  They make great snacks for the kids, or take along to any outing!

Notes:

Feel free to modify the recipe to your taste.  You can add more or less of any of the fruits and even mix fruits together for a variety of fruit bars.   This recipe as written has a stronger banana taste.
