Ingredients
- 1lb sweet cherrieswashed, stemmed, pitted
- 2-4 glass jarsfor conditioning and storage
Instructions
- Arrange whole, pitted cherries on dehydrator tray, leaving room between each for good air circulation.
- Dehydrate at 154 degrees (or similar temperature for your dehydrator model) for 10 hours. Stop the machine every few hours to rotate your trays for even drying. As the cherries dry they will start to wrinkle and shrink.
- Reduce heat to 131 (or similar temperature for your dehydrator model) and dry for approximately 7 hours more, once again rotating the trays every few hours.
- Once the cherries are done drying, leave them in the dehydrator to rest before moving them to a glass jar.
- Serve within a day or so, or condition the cherries for long-term pantry storage.
