Bærene settes øverst 1 kg kirsebær (helst feilfrie). Er bærene høstet i tørkeovnen og fuktig vær, skal de om mulig inn øverst i tørkeovnen samme dag de plukkes, hvis de er høstet i fuktig vær. Plukkes de derimot plukkes.. Er bærene plukket i tørt vær, vær og bærene er ganske helt feilfrie, kan de soltørkes et par dager før de settes i tørkeovnen. Tørkes tørkeovnen.. Tørk bærene ved 50° C., 50 °C, stigende til 70. Tørkes på 6—9 70 °C, i 6–9 timer.
