More Avocados

Avocados were so delicious with our tacos on family dinner night I needed to do more and have some extra on the shelf. I go 14 Hass Avocados and it fit on 3 trays (the 15th slipped in my basket not ripe enough to use) You can check out the reconstitution of the avocados on the Family Dinner Post

14 Hass Avocados gave me 4 1/2 quart size mason jars of yummy avocado’s ready for me to use anytime of the next 25 years.

I also did a tray of zucchini chips testing with different seasonings. The jury is still out on these chips. I think next time I will try them thicker and will let you know how I like those.

What Tools I Used:
Breville Food Proccessor – which makes chopping a breeze, I love this machine and use it for so many things. You will see throughout my posts I use it often and it saves me so much time.
Fry Scoop – to help get the food in the jars
Canning Funnel – to help get the food in jars
Harvest Right Medium Freeze Dryer
Food Saver – You will need one with an accessories attachment

Steps:
1) Peel and chop your avocados placing them on your tray with mat
2)Freeze Dry
3)Scoop your avocadoes into your food processor and blend until the chunkiness you desire ( I link some chunk to my avocadoes but not too big to make it still fast to reconstitute)
4)Place in mason jars or mylar bags and seal

Freeze drying is simple, You have the prep time of putting your food on your trays and then putting them in the freeze dryer and pushing start. Then you leave it to do it’s magic and check on it when you walk by for the next 24-36 hours to see what the machine says. It will tell you when it’s ready and then you pull your food out and jar it up.

Note: If using mylar bags you need to use an oxygen absorber or you can put it in a mason jar and seal with a food processor attachment.
