Very impressive video. The freeze drying machine company should pay you for the excellent advertising of their product. I love watching your videos. God bless you all. X
We just finished 4 bushels of peaches. 70 quarts canned, jam, peel and seed jelly and butter. Went right to the orchard and got seconds for a really good price.
I'm genuinely curious, are the peaches organic that you use for the peel and seed jelly? I'm always curious about the sprays. I mean I know that any spray that goes on the outside of the peach also goes inside it, but it seems like the peels would have a higher concentration? I don't know, I'd really like to know.
@@katieyungen1647 not organic. Hadn't really thought about it. Unless you grow your own, I don't know where you would find organic. Peaches are really hard to grow I've heard.
@@ksewald91 Peaches are really not hard to grow. Just be sure to NOT GET early Peach trees. Often they freeze, but later Peach trees, Fall harvest like Alberta, Free stone etc. Alberta is my favorite. Just saying
@@Patriot1459J ,we have planted one peach tree but it will be years before we see any harvest. This is the first time I have canned peaches in decades. At 69 I am not holding my breath waiting for a bumper crop. 😁
It's always so nice to see you and we enjoy you channel. Mike and I have ben gardening her in central Texas for over 30 years and this has been the worst drought ever. We lost most of our spring and summer garden. 47 day with no rain and temps 102 to 108. Good thing we have at least two years of food stores. We will be planting the fall winter garden in September and looking forward to better weather. We flash freeze and it works great before vacuum packing. Thanks for the video, we love the channel. Blessings, Rochelle
One of my favorite things to eat in the summer when I was young was to pour a quart of peaches or apricots (my favorite) in a blender with ice and have "smoothies." (Were smoothies a thing in the 70's?) My mom didn't use heavy syrup but it was sweetened. So cool and refreshing. We would process peaches at home or apricots at my grandma's with all the aunts and cousins that lived nearby. My grandma would also make fruit leather, roll it up tightly, and then cut it into bite sized pieces. I would sneak in the storage room and eat them. Good memories.
We lived in a desert region. My mom used to blend up our nectarines, spread it out on waxed paper on a cookie sheet. She then set it in our car which was parked out on the street with the windows cracked about an inch. It was the best fruit leather! She dried grapes/raisins the same way.
If the peaches are not overly ripe you can use a clean pair of needle nose pliers to reach in from the stem end to pull the pit. Then use a sharp apple slicer to reduce the work load and expedite preparation.
Thank goodness you both have talked so much about your Harvest Right freeze dryer. I invested in 1 late last summer and hardly let it rest. This year I've been putting up my raspberries and blueberries for my mom because I had such a bumper crop last year and am now helpingher with some of her food stock. It has helped me to not only put up food that I grow for myself, but also for my family, as well as putting up store bought meat, eggs, and what not. Blessings
The peaches 🍑 looked amazing! No freeze dryer but I sure enjoyed this video. The reminder to flash freeze is something I needed to be reminded about! Clearly a worthwhile step. Thank you!
Another YEAR with NO HARVEST isn't Stopping US!. Interesting and engaging video. I support your video. Watched the video July 29, 2022 very like. Thank you so much
My Harvest freeze dryer is ordered and my two peach trees have lots of fruit, as well as my veggie garden being full. Love your videos. I’ve been learning so much from your channel and watch your videos over and over. Thank you for all you do! You both bring me calm during these difficult times. You are truly very special people. Thank you again. ❤️
Sarah, you look even more lovely than usual and I think it might be the touches of grey in your hair. You've earned that grey and wear it well. You are a wonderful You Tube presenter and my first to check daily. Yes, I know I could check the notifications bell, but prefer to just be pleasantly surprised! Your cameraman Kevin did a great job on this video as well. Blessings to you both....
We love to make a simple ice cream using frozen peaches and fresh milk. 2c frozen fruit with 1c milk into a blender, blend until smooth and you have fresh peach ice cream!
You have done a fantastic job of clarifying the process of using the freeze dryer. I have received my freeze dryer and am setting it up. Thanks to y’all I look forward to the pleasure of storing food.
You're partially right, individual freezing of slices is part of flash freezing. We're flash freezing is different from just freezing something, is in the temperature, flash freezing happens when you use a freezing source lower than -100. For instance you pick up blocks of dry ice, you put them in the bottom of a cooler then you put your trays on a rack above the dry ice seal the lid of the cooler and just use a a hand-powered vacuum pump to pull off a little bit of a vacuum. Leave it for about 20 to 30 minutes. And your food your food will be frozen. That's flash freezing.
First thing that came to mind when I saw this video was my Granny's peach preserves! Absolutely mouthwatering on a buttered biscuit! I have tried my best to replicate her recipe but it just never tastes like hers.
For storage in canning glass jars. (Ball, etc) I use my sous vide vacuum chamber- I place an oxygen absorber in the jar. Most the air is vacuumed out and I-have a good seal (vacuum and air tight. You place the lid and ring on finger tight- then vacuum
I’ve done hot peach jam, peach sauce both hot and plain. I got 50 lbs more on Sunday from the peach truck. I’m going to be drying skins to make a powder, canning peach pie and Spiced Honey Peaches.
My daughter freeze dries sweet pepper slices seasoned with ranch dressing powder. I just tried these several weeks ago. She makes them out of the tri colored peppers she gets at Sam's. They were good enough that I will grow and freeze dry these peppers next year
Peaches are my favorite fruits, besides raspberries, blueberries, cherries....well, this was a drooling good video!! 🤎 I hope you're getting this wonderful rain, Sarah and Kevin! Isn't God good??
I think Harvest Right has simplified the user interface a bit for their software. Our (large) freeze dryer arrived in March, and it doesn't ask us whether the food is frozen or not. It does tell you to wait 15 minutes before loading food, so maybe they figured out how to get it down to temp fast enough to prevent the food from thawing. We love this machine.
We also got a large freeze dryer in February. We just did 2 - half bushels of peaches in our freeze dryer about 3 weeks apart. I did not leave the skins on them because I don't like skins. They turned out beautifully! We love our machine and have gotten a lot of use out of it with assorted food items. Our home peach trees won't be ready to harvest for at least another 3 weeks, and I am sure we will freeze dry more peaches when they are ready. They are delicious snacks!
@@jaquipatterson6181 We love our HR freeze drier too. Although I downsized to a medium and I really regret doing that. I plan to buy a second machine in the near future.
@@clw.7146 I had initially ordered a medium, but when I told my husband what size I ordered, he said that I should have ordered a large. Lol. So, I called HR and changed the order. I also changed the color because it was kind of a gift for him, and he mentioned a different color. Ours has been almost non-stop since we got it.
I learned something new today, about flash freezing! I usually bag my chopped veggies and put them into the freezer and you're right, they stick together. Thanks for the tip.
Harvest Right has gone up in price a lot. Wish I could afford one. I use to can peaches with less sugar (2 cups per recipe) and alternative sugar for my dad and we used it for toppings for pancakes, ice cream and dump cakes. We loved it! Maybe another idea.
I've been seeing a number of places you can go buy Peaches by the bushel. I wish I could can, freeze or make jams, jellies or have for desserts. I would be lost without something sweet once in awhile!! I LOVE PEACHES!! Great memories canning PEACHES with My Grandma & My Mom, loved it!!
I have a Freeze Dryer at my Church Tri-State Family Christian Center. It comes in handy thanks Sarah and Kevin for an amazing experience with the Freeze Dryer
Good morning 🙏😊 The peaches make my mouth water! My grandparents had a peach tree and we canned and froze peaches each year. That tree died several years ago and I miss cutting up the peaches (and other fruit) with my grandma. We had some great conversations and the time went by quickly. After this morning I’m going on a search for peaches! Love you guys and thank you for your videos and wealth of information. Have a blessed day 🙏
Um, did you send me a reply? I didn't know anything about a gift, but I do know there has been some hacking going on, on different sites (Our Wyoming Life) was one......Just wanting to make sure that you were note hacked. Thanks, Bev
Per your recommedation, I bought her book. Great purchase! I read it in one day and can’t wait to try her recipes. Also, it has the best description of the three types of potatoes and their uses I have ever read…with pictures, too! Yay! Thanks for the suggestion!
We recently got a freeze dryer. We did some apples, peaches, bananas, strawberries & eggs we'll be doing vegetables as they ripen. We're loving it. We've learned so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I wish I could find large quantities of peaches like that! Peaches are my all time favorite fruit, so I'd eat a lot of them, share with others, and make peach pies too. YUM!
The peaches look great! I mainly freeze to preserve my harvest, but I recently purchased a dehydrator. A freeze dryer is definitely not within my budget. I will definitely be checking out that book, as I'm sure it will be quite useful. Thanks for the suggestion.
Tracy Davis, Prices won't come down, save enough for a down payment & join their payment plan. You also will be saving on your food budget? I spent $20,00 more this week shopping for the same food & number of items at the store.
Looks like freestone - so easy to prep. No freeze dryer, but did can pie/cobbler filling and some in simple syrup - maybe one day I'll get a freeze dryer - stay safe you two
It's probably too late, but if you open the pit of the peaches, you can use the inside for making Italian cookies (amaretti) or a specialty liquor like Amaretto.
I picked up two boxes from the Peach Truck this year and made a few fresh treats and then sliced and froze about 200 peaches for future cobblers and smoothies. I also made Peach Jelly. Such a fun and delicious adventure.
When I’m packaging my freeze dried things, I lay out a big piece of parchment paper and dump the tray contents on it. It is then really easy and fast to fill the jars or bags. I do reuse the parchment paper if it hasn’t been used for something like raw eggs.
I’m with you if I had a freeze dryer I’d freeze everything I could because I for one don’t do pies much nor a lot of sweets. But, I think freeze dried stuff would be good like fruits and some vegetables.
when my kids were little I would use a paring knife and peal an apple all in 1 piece for them so they could play with the curl. I guess I will do it again when I'm a mimi or nana or grandma!
I really really loved all the info in this video! Sarah you are a true teacher and informed me so much about dehydrating vs freeze drying! I'm sold on freeze drying! Thank you so much!!!!
Changing to updated software is easy. I have a few recommendations that made things go smoothly for us . We Label bags before filling so its easier to write and always use oxygen absorbers. If using a jar I would use oxygen absorber and vacuum seal the jar. Freeze drying is a great way to preserve eggs and parchment paper on freeze drying trays for any sweet food is always a plus, much less sticking and easier cleanup. Mylar bags come in many different thicknesses so adjust heat seal time, so that bag isn't sticking to heat bar. Although the oil less pump is more expensive, it's a lot less maintenance and no keeping track of when to change that oil. keeping unit clean is a must, this includes the dust buildup on pump, drain line, interior and door is freeze dryer, top and underside of the tray holding unit. Just wanted to share those things. You guys are awesome and your video gave some good tips for beginners to put into use. Keep the videos coming. Okra is also a great freeze dried snack. Lol
I always peel peaches to can or dehydrate. Fresh I eat the peels but preserved I always peel. It makes it so much easier to use later on. If I ever get a freeze dryer I may reconsider.
I'm not sure when this video came out but I just found it. I really wish I had/ could afford one of these freeze dryer. I'd be doing all kinds of stuff. Even if i had to buy all the foods I'd like to do for future use. But sadly I will never be able to own one. It really sucks when your one a fixed income and housing and bills take up darn near all your money right off the bat on the 1st of the month. I did not even get a garden in this year because we had way too much rain in the spring/early summer for me to get out there and work on it. But I truly enjoy watching your and others on YT working in your gardens and such. and all the animals too.
You can make peach powder for frostnings , it taste amazings.
What kind of frosting do you add it to?
What a great idea!!
@@evied.4475 I think she means frosties/smoothies?

Leaving peels on peaches that are freeze dried have more of a peach flavor that without.
