In The Sun

To dry the fruit in the sun, simply line the fruit on a baking sheet and leave outside in direct sunlight. Bear in mind that the temperature should not exceed 85°F and there should be low humidity. Then cover the fruit with a cheesecloth to protect it from animals or pests.

Take the tray inside at night to prevent moisture from forming. The whole process should take around 4 days.
