Fortunately, drying fruit is a simple process, and there aren\u2019t many fruits you\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">can\u2019t\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">dry this way. So, whether you\u2019re drying citrus fruits for your festive d\u00e9cor or putting a tropical twist on your theme this year, you should be able to dry your fruit using our method. Here\u2019s how to dry fruit for decoration in a few easy steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, chop your fruit into small slices. You want them to be between \u00bd &#8211; 1 cm thick so they will dry quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, place your fruit on a lined baking tray. Then, put them into a preheated oven at 100\u00b0.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After about 2 hours, turn your fruit. Then, leave them for another 2 hours. These times may vary depending on the size and type of fruit you\u2019re using. So, ensure that you check your fruit regularly as it dries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, remove your fruit slices from the oven. If they are still highly flexible, you should return your fruit slices to the oven for another hour or two until they have hardened. However, if they are dried out, you can remove your fruit slices from the oven and allow them to cool before using.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oven-Dried Fruit | DIY &amp; How To | Kroger\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/77idKYoA3vc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5 Incredib<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">le Dried Fruit Christmas Decorations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, now you know how to dry fruit for decoration, it\u2019s time to put your newfound knowledge to good use! Here are five fun dried fruit Christmas decorations you can make for a fun twist on your festive d\u00e9cor this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Traditional Dried Fruit Christmas Decorations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-decoration-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"traditional dried fruit Christmas decorations\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-decoration-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-decoration-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-decoration.jpg 899w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can make traditional dried fruit Christmas decorations in almost no time. This simple craft consists of drying your fruit as per our guide above, then threading them together with a couple of extras. Here\u2019s how to make traditional dried fruit Christmas decorations:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You Will Need:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dried fruit (oranges and lemons work well)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cinnamon sticks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">String<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Needle<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, tie a knot in your string. As this knot will have to secure the fruit once you have threaded it onto the string, you may want to make more than one knot to ensure it will hold.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, thread your dried fruit and cinnamon sticks on your twine vertically, so they make small stacks. Don\u2019t be afraid to play around with your design here! Alternate between your dried fruit and cinnamon sticks for some fun finishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dried Fruit Arrangements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dried fruit arrangements are a step up from traditional dried fruit Christmas decorations. To make a jaw-dropping dried fruit display, you\u2019ll need a couple of different types of fruit for drying and a few fun extras. Of course, you can make almost any decoration using other dried fruit arrangements. For example, the more crafty of you may find joy in turning your dried fruit arrangements into place cards for the table or unique present toppers for your loved ones. However, here\u2019s a simple project for an excellent dried fruit garland.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You Will Need:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dried fruit (oranges and lemons work well)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">String<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Needle<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Start by threading your first piece of fruit onto your garland. You should thread the piece of fruit from the back, so the front is unblemished and will hide the string when complete. Thread the string through the fruit at the 1 o\u2019clock point, leaving a tail of thread on the other side of about 12 inches. Then, thread the string back through the front of the fruit at the 11 o\u2019clock point.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, take your next piece of fruit. Like before, start threading your string through at the 1 o\u2019clock point. Pull it all the way through so it is taut against the last piece of fruit. Again, pull the string back through at the 11 o\u2019clock point. Continue adding fruit to your garland in this way until you are happy with its appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, once you have all your fruit on the garland, leave another tail of around 12 inches. Before joining the two 12-inch tails, check that your fruit hasn\u2019t bunched up together; shuffle the pieces along the twine if they\u2019ve huddled together. Then, take the leftover string, use it to make a loop, and knot it a couple of inches down. If you have any excess string, cut it off.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dried Citrus Fruit Ornaments<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-pieces-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dried pieces of fruit\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-pieces-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-pieces-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-pieces.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although you can make the other decorations we\u2019ve had a look at so far with almost any fruit you\u2019d like, you\u2019ll need citrus fruits for this one. However, there\u2019s still plenty of variety with citrus fruits. Try making these dried fruit Christmas decorations with oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, kumquats &#8211; see, there are plenty of citrus fruits! Plus, you\u2019ll need cookie cutters for these dried fruit Christmas decorations, so make sure to choose some unique shapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You Will Need:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Citrus fruits of your choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cookie cutters of your choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Needle<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">String<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, you must cut the shapes of your dried fruit Christmas decorations\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">before\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">drying them. So, peel your citrus fruits and remove as much of the pith as you can.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Then, you can use your cookie cutters to cut the whole citrus fruits into shapes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you have cut all your fruits, dry them using the instructions above.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, once your citrus fruit ornaments are completely dried, use a needle to poke a hole through the top and thread your string through for hanging.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Citrus Peel Roses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For some unique dried fruit Christmas decorations, you can make use of the peel of citrus fruits. Of course, if you make the dried citrus fruit ornaments above, this is a perfect way to use up the peel. However, if you\u2019re cooking with or eating citrus fruits, this is a great way to recycle the peel. For perfect decorations, though, you\u2019ll have to peel the fruits the right way!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You Will Need:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Citrus fruits of your choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Peeler<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Toothpicks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, peel your fruits. For successful roses, you\u2019ll need to peel them in such a way that you will finish with one long stripe of peel of even width. To do so, you should use your peeler to start peeling from the top of the fruit and cut downwards in a spiral movement. Try not to get too much pith in your peel.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, start making the rose shape. Wrap the peel around itself until it takes the shape of a rose. Then, fix the ends together with a toothpick to stop the decoration from unravelling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, dry the peel. It\u2019s best to dry these decorations over a hot radiator, as it will be quicker and safer than using an oven. However, you can use these ornaments as they are if you\u2019d like.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Create Cranberry String Garlands<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-display-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"display of dried fruit Christmas decorations\" width=\"901\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-display-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-display-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/dried-fruit-Christmas-display.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 901px) 100vw, 901px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dried cranberries make fantastic Christmas decorations. And this simple D.I.Y project will make the best use of these fruits. With a bit of time and plenty of dried fruit extras, you can create beautiful wreaths from simple cranberries. When threaded into little garlands, you can transform these festive favourites into beautiful, dried fruit Christmas decorations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You Will Need:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fresh cranberries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Boiling water<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Baking tray<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Large needle<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waxed thread<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">(Optional) Extra decorations, such as slices of dried fruit, pine cones, nuts or cinnamon sticks\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To:<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, start the drying process. You can dry your fresh cranberries by placing them in a bowl and covering them with boiling water. Once they have popped, drain and dry them, and place them in a single layer on a baking tray. Then, put them in the freezer for 1 \u2013 2 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before you take your cranberries out of the freezer, preheat the oven to 170\u00b0 for about ten minutes. Then, turn the oven off and place the cranberries inside. You can leave them overnight until they have dried out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, start making your garlands. Use the large needle to thread the cranberries onto the waxed thread. If you\u2019d like to use extra decorations, you can thread these onto the garlands in between the cranberries for unique dried fruit Christmas decorations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Making Your Own Dried Fruit Christmas Decorations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Making your own dried fruit Christmas decorations couldn\u2019t be simpler and is a fun,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/outdoor-christmas-activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">festive activity<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for all the family.
