Here is a tip. I make broths/stocks in big batches and to separate off the fat I use a lemonade dispenser (the kind with the spigot at the bottom). Mine holds two gallons. I just put all my broth in it, let it sit for an hour or so, then drain off the broth and just stop when it drains down to the fat layer.
I usually refrigerate my bone broth and skim off the fat before canning it. I don't have room in any of my freezers to pre-freeze any of the food before I freeze dry it. Whatever I can't freeze dry, I can or dehydrate.
Great choices! I currently have ginger and lemon slices in my freeze-dryer. Last week, I freeze-dried black beans. I only put them in there because three-quart jars did not seal when canning. What an incredible mistake! Those freeze-dried black beans tasted terrific! I've also freeze-dried some fruit for our bird feeders.
Just started following you! I didn't think the number one video was all that bad lol. And I definitely agree! Freeze dried pineapple is the best! Candy, just like candy!
Thanks for the video, so much fun! If you've never tried grilled pineapple, give it a go - next level yum! One of the first things I want to try dehydrating are pineapple rings that have been grilled and then sliced into bites. They'd be amazing in coconut rice and other MREs, even as snacks.
You made me laugh…..I was so sure that after the vid of you and your sister (snap peas), that when you started off, “watching that makes me miss……..summer”, LOL! I was sure you were going to say you miss your sister, LOL!
I like the snap peas. But the only thing my big dog wouldn't eat was the snap peas from costco😂he would eat anything. My favorite freeze dried food that I have made is strawberries. They are so bright and flavorful. Really as good as or better than fresh strawberries!
Another great freeze drying video! I've yet to do snap peas but I have done a couple of garbanzo bean batches and they are awesome!! Have you ever tried to freeze dry honey(bee nectar)? I'm not getting fresh...lol. Have a very merry Christmas and we are all looking forward to a great New Year!!!
Unfortunately, I think TH-cam's new "AI" adventures messed with the video. 🙄 A couple of other YT creators I follow have been having issues and have had to re-upload their glitchy videos. It's a pain, for sure. Technology is great when it works. Totally appreciate all you do!!! 😄👍

You cook so many things, you need a video showing some recipes, especially these oatmeal breakfasts.
@@hyfy-tr2jy thank you great tip!!
@@donnkloepfer1316 here’s my oatmeal video from earlier this year th-cam.com/video/z_r_3OwMwBs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L1nubJMMbKCzUA5S
I make steel cut oats in my crockpot with apples, raisins and cinnamon. I then FD it all and it’s so wonderful in the mornings.

@@MyOutdoorWildlife oh bummer when canning messes up!! Great ideas thanks for sharing!
You do a GREAT job with your videos. Your pineapple one was great as well. Merry Christmas from Georgia!
@@scarleenswalker7923 thank you so much - merry Christmas to you too!

I am so going to make that coconut curry! I have done sugar snap peas and they are awesome
@@reneebeam426 the curry is amazing!
There are several ways to strain broth, but I use a honey straining screen that is mesh screen that looks like a coffee filter. Zero fat in the broth.
Oh wow that sounds perfect!
Oooh, I have GOT to try those peas (and the chickpeas!!)
Sooo good! The chickpeas were very powdery when you bite into them… I didn’t love but they would be perfect to turn into hummus
You made me laugh…..I was so sure that after the vid of you and your sister (snap peas), that when you started off, “watching that makes me miss……..summer”, LOL! I was sure you were going to say you miss your sister, LOL!
@@SasssyPie hahahaha 😂 now I feel heartless!!! I do miss my sis too 🥰😅 🤣

@@carlasenecal3434 how funny your dog didn’t like them 😂 yum strawberries are sooo good too it’s been forever since I’ve freeze dried some!
Love the video! I have recently freeze dried bone broth, but I am uncertain how to reconstitute it. Is there a formula?
@@jeankohtala666 mine ended up being about a 1/20 ratio I part powdered broth 20 parts water

I have heard honey is one of the things that doesn’t freeze dry well due to the sugar content …..
@@DIYfreezedry I see....thank you!
Try Chili sometime. Curious if that would work.
I have actually and it works beautifully!! It’s a great one and reconstitutes perfect
The video for the chicken curry prep didn't play. Just a black screen for a minute.
Yes, it didn't play for me either. I was able to see everything else.
Same for me. I had to double check that the tv didn’t turn off. Scared me when it popped back on the screen for the taste test. 😂
Same here
@@texasnurse oh no thank you for telling me! I went in and deleted that clip I hope it doesn’t take too long to update. I don’t know what happened 🫠
Some of my favorites are eggs, cheese, oranges and so much more.
Such good ones!
Eggs and cheese are my favorites but I've not had great luck with oranges! At least not for reconstituting or snacking
What are your tips? 😊
Merry Christmas!
@@SasssyPie thank you, merry Christmas to you too!!
I too ran into the same problem. The chicken curry prep was just a black screen for me.
@@bladesinger2002 I’m so sorry about that 😖 I just went in and deleted that section but may take a while to update. I don’t know what happened. Argh
Awesome video 😊
@@pde442 thanks 🥰
Would you give me your recipe for the curry chicken pineapple mre
aducksoven.com/recipes/chicken-and-pineapple-curry/
Here ya go!
I didn’t get a notification 🤔 watching now 🔥
@@ChristinaContreras-x6b oh weird! Glad you found the video still 😊
Did you core that pineapple or use all of it?
@@peggygoad517 I cored it
My favorite is guacamole!
@@melodymartin4503 oh yum!! I’ve done avocado but not guacamole - definitely adding it to my list

I am thinking of ordering a few items from the freeze drying supply link. Hopefully you will earn a commission from them 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@lulamamie8524 wonderful! I do get a commission if you use my link - I appreciate you doing that 🥰🥰🥰
Super!!
Bone broth: drop some ice cubes in before freezing. fat will coagulate around the cubes. Scoop out with a sieve spoon.
Wow that’s so smart! I’ll try that thanks!
Shoot! Long blank gap in the filming - wanted the chicken coconut curry!
@@kmartin2988 thank you I just deleted that part it won’t let me add in a new clip 😖 but in my video description I have a link to the full curry video
Found it in the links - thanks!
