Corn and Tomatoes
I did another freeze-dryer run of corn and tomatoes! I cooked the corn on the cob, cut it off and put it on 3 of the FDer trays. I used the 4th tray for tomatoes.

Elderberry long term storage (LTS)
I finally got into the mylar bags and O2 absorbers that I purchased recently. Also, with the new vacuum sealer that can handle the mylar, I attempted to move the elderberries from the 4 quart mason jars to one, one gallon mylar bag. It worked fairly well! I got a seal on the bag with a setting of 6 seconds on the heater for a 5mil mylar bag. I might up this to 7 on the next run.
Mylar bags and O2 absorbers
MAKE EXTRA SURE THAT YOU SEAL THE UNUSED O2 ABSORBERS! I wasted $13 worth of absorbers (about 70 absorbers) because I forgot! :(
