This recipe is for a medium sized Harvest Right freeze dryer running the 6.x.x firmware
Directions
- Make sure to use parchment paper or silicone mats for the trays.
- Spread the skittles evenly on the five trays. They can be bunched up a little since they will usually separate easily after freeze drying.
- Use the Candy function of the freeze dryer with the following settings:
Warmup time: none
Temperature: 140 to 145 F
Dry time: 2 hours - Start the freeze dryer and wait 15 minutes for the trays to warm up.
- Insert all five trays into the freeze dryer.
- Seal the door and close the drain valve.
- The total time for this to run is about four hours.
- When the process is complete, open the drain valve to release the vacuum and then remove the trays and bag the Skittles.
