More Freeze Drying: Part 2

Well, we had some hang-ups with the second batch, but over all they turned out okay.  We had to put them in the bag and almost forgot to take a photo.  The apples needed a lot more time than the bananas.

This is the finished product.  
When I checked an apple, it was done, but most of the others were not done in the middle and I had already started the defrosting process.  I think the bananas were okay, but tasted a little funky.  The frustrating thing is that they had been in the freeze dryer for about 42 hours and the apples were still moist and cold by the peel.  I guess they will just be for snacking.  Oh well.  Not everything can be a success the first time.
