Description: Fruit (prunes or apricots) drying on trays in the open air.
"While dried plum processors once acclaimed California dried plums as being dried in God's pure air and sunshine, sun drying of dried plums was converted to mechanical dehydration with the development of commercial dryers in the 1930’s." From: "IPA" International Prune Association, History of Prunes in California : http://www.ipaprunes.org/ (accessed 12/01/10).
