How to use

Wash and, if desired, pit the cherries, sour cherries or olives before arranging them in a single layer on the dehydrator trays to ensure airflow around each piece. Select a low to moderate temperature setting appropriate for delicate fruit and set the timer or monitor progress periodically. Rotate or rearrange trays during long drying cycles if needed to promote uniform moisture removal. Allow dried fruit to cool before packaging in airtight containers or vacuum-sealing for storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results with cherries and sour cherries, halve or pit fruit to speed drying and reduce the risk of trapped moisture. For olives, consider partial curing or a brief blanching step before dehydration to improve texture. Store fully dried fruit in a cool, dark place in sealed containers and check moisture periodically to prevent spoilage.
