what happened to her?
Hello everyone. Went on two walks today, sat outside for 10-15 mins each twice, finished watching the movie I started yesterday, obviously cooked too (twice), etc. LOL

I enjoy freeze drying since starting in the summer of 2024.
Here is an experiment that I did yesterday, my vision was a puffy fruit leather.
I started with eighteen cups of windfall no name pasture apples, boiled for thirty minutes, 2 cups of raw honey and 12 oz of coconut milk. The apples were boiled in the coconut milk with the honey being added just before going into the freeze dryer.
I blended the apples and coconut milk to an apple sauce consistency, it was pleasantly smooth and creamy.
The experiment was largely a failure as far as success is determined. When the mixture froze in the freeze dryer it went all over the chamber, yeah not a pretty sight!
However, one out of five pans, the bottom one, had a decent example of what I was going for, not what I had imagined, but still decent.
The mistake I made was adding too much honey, I knew I was taking a bit of a chance adding that much but I did it anyway, I won’t do that again.
The mess I created by “going against knowledge” is not worth the effort.
The one pan that turned out decent is almost heavenly delicious, but I ain’t doing it like that again!
A couple pictures of before and after.
I am reconstituting four pans, I’m not sure what I’ll use it for, but it won’t go to waste.
The deep salmon color is lovely!
Door closed,
Door open. That’s not what it’s supposed to look like.
The pans.
It is extremely sticky!
This is the small part of the partial success, part of the success includes a lesson learned.

Do you use regular vanilla creamer or the sugar free vanilla creamer?
