thank you. will definitely have to try them. my friend is diabetic.

[@sura2047]

Yum!! Looks so good! Thanks for sharing

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

They are surprisingly good! I didn’t expect much after following the Harvest Right Recipe

[@donnawheeler6283]

Thank you for the valuable tip! 🎉🎉🎉

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Thank you for watching!

[@TheIslandBathProducts]

Thank you for sharing your experience. As someone how makes products for the skin, we always wear gloves and hair nets. I would also do the same making food product for sale. I enjoyed your video 😊

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I handle food without gloves when videoing :) That is not how I package for my business.

[@quinp555]

What settings did you use to make those? They look delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥️

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Jello requires a full freeze drying cycle. I pre froze it he jello and then used factory settings…they took about 26 hours

[@seaglassmomma4040]

Have you ever tried using the jiggler recipe which has less water?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

No I have not because these turn out really well

[@Chill_6263]

Thank you for sharing this! This will be a fun one to try! Also I am guessing you just used the factory settings? Temp being like 120? And the extra dry time 2 hours at the end?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I add 12 hours dry time to almost everything sometimes 24 for things like blueberries and strawberries

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

The background noise is a bit distracting but I sure enjoyed the video. I will have to try this.

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Ok thanks! I have quit using music in my videos as of my 4/2 video.

[@connie5689]

can you just leave the Jell-o in the molds and freeze dry it that way instead of removing them after freezing in the freezer / transfer to the tray?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

They are fragile and will break apart, also the time to Freeze Dry will increase dramatically because of less surface area for the moisture to escape

[@TheWardrobeUK-fp6vp]

You said you rotate the trays? When do you do that and how long

[@longhaircountryboy3559]

I rotate my trays when my extra dry time is midway. The bottom tray is where a issue is most likely So try a piece from middle tray then compare to bottom tray And then decide if it’s needed You get a opportunity to add more extra dry time at the end of a cycle Hope this helps It works for me

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Once I am into extra dry time I stop the load rotate add more dry time for 4-6 hours

[@tillisross2246]

We purchased the Harvest Right molds and use them for FD milk the same way, but they pop out easily…

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I purchased these along time ago, may have to look at the Harvest Right to make more at 1 time.

[@thepreacherswife7301]

I was wondering if I would need to use an oxygen absorber when putting the jello bites into my small Mylar bags to sale. I’ve only sold several kinds of candy never tried jello.

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I have just used moisture absorbers with my candy that I sell because they are intended for short term sell and eat.

[@cg3749]

What are your settings?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Normal Factory settings with 24 hours extra dry time set as my default.

[@usha777]

How much ice do you have when done? I ran a jello batch and had so much ice i had to stop the run at 29 hrs with mT900. I froze them so im going to rerun the batch. If your getting it done in under 24 hrs that is great.

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Depends on how full I fill my machine, there are times I’m definitely getting close to the limit.

[@usha777]

So filling my med FD is to much?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

@@usha777 if the ice is building to the point that the machine won’t freeze dry then it is overloaded.

[@honeybeeshuckin]

What settings did you use on the freeze dryer?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I used factory default. They take a normal freeze drying cycle and a really full load takes about 36 hours

[@whatthefunction9140]

Does sugar free work better?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

In my opinion, no. They are very different textures.

[@whatthefunction9140]

@@adventuresinfreezedrying I really doubt that

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

@@whatthefunction9140 I’ve done both… aspartame does not have the same structure as sugar… totally different texture is the result. Don’t take my word for it, experiment for yourself and find out. One is crunchy the other is like styrofoam consistency of packaging peanuts.

[@whatthefunction9140]

@@adventuresinfreezedrying and let the communists win? No thanks

[@rdwilliams07]

What settings did you use?

[@cg3749]

Would you share temp settings? Candy mode etcm

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

regular freeze dryer cycle. Jello is not candy and will just melt if you try to use candy mode.

[@dianedelsite6935]

Where did you get the molds from?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

They are silicone ice cube molds from Amazon

[@bmills284]

Can you use sugar free jello?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

Yes, however the texture is totally different and it gets quite tart instead of sweet. Assuming it’s the Aspartame which is horrible for you any way I would recommend trying sugar free Jolly Ranchers if you want a sugar free sweet.

[@princenameless]

Have you tried vegan-gelatin ‘agar agar’ jello instead of the gelatin from animals?

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I have not. If you try it please let me know how it turns out!

[@pjkoths]

You said "don't" use the HR recipe. What is the recipe that you use? The video did not state water quantity.

[@adventuresinfreezedrying]

I follow the directions on the box :)
