Dried juneberries

Updated on 9 October 2026

• Makes: ± 150 g
• Time: 15 min + 8–12 hours drying
• From: Snowy mespilus

Ingredients

• 500 g ripe berries

Method

1. Rinse the berries, remove the stalks and pat them thoroughly dry.
2. Dip them in boiling water for 30 seconds: the skins split and they dry faster.
3. Spread them out on a baking tray lined with baking paper or on dehydrator racks.
4. Dry them for 8 to 12 hours at 50–60 °C, with the oven door ajar, until leathery like raisins.
5. Leave to cool and put them in a jar. Check during the first few days that no condensation forms; if it does, dry them a little longer.

Storing: Dry and dark in a closed jar: several months. Lovely in muesli, cake or scones.
