Dried Preserves

The preserved syrup fruits can be drained up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated before beginning the drying process. Once fully dried and sugar-coated, these candied fruits can be stored for several months, making them ideal for holiday preparation weeks in advance.

Store completely dried fruits in an airtight container with layers separated by parchment paper in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. If any moisture appears in the container, the fruits were not sufficiently dried and should be consumed within 2 weeks. Avoid refrigeration, as condensation will cause the sugar coating to dissolve.
