Freeze dried pineapple. Again.
It’s just so good!!!
I’ve made freeze dried pineapple in the past using fresh pineapple I chopped up (check out that post here), and it was good. This time I found organic, non GMO canned pineapple rings to try. I did cut the rings into about fourths or so before putting it on the freeze dryer trays.
The pineapple filled two trays. I also had two trays of apple slices, and one of cantaloupe. Everything was pre-frozen.
After doing her 15 minute cooldown, the Ice Queen (Harvest Right Home Pro Medium) was ready. Yay for more freeze dried pineapple!

Pineapple is always awesome, just wish I’d made more, lol
I love the pineapple, as I mentioned before. I just wish I had made more of it. I put it in mylar bags, 1.2 ounces per bag, with an oxygen absorber (I use Wallaby ones). I only got 5 bags, which is not very many. There were a few extra pieces that wouldn’t fill a bag, so I just ate those, lol.
How long did the pineapple take to freeze dry?
The pineapple, cantaloupe, and apples took 44 hours and 19 minutes total.
I will definitely be doing pineapple again. Next time I will do a lot more, try to fill all five trays up with it, ha!
Happy freeze drying!!
