Erken's short instruction for drying cherries, with the advice that berries harvested in humid weather must go into the drying oven the same day.
Assess the berries
If the berries are harvested in humid weather, they should if possible go into the top of the drying oven the same day they are picked.
Optional sun-drying
If the berries are picked in dry weather and completely flawless, they can be sun-dried for a couple of days before being put in the drying oven.
Dry
Dry the berries at 50 °C (120 °F), rising to 70 °C (160 °F), for 6–9 hours.
The quantity is not given in the original; an estimate of 1 kg of cherries has been inserted. The method is divided into steps and the language modernized.
