how does one store a dried fruit tray properly if it isn't to be given right away?

We experienced poor results in our attempts to store the fruit. It became dried out and discolored. On three trays of fruit that were consumed quickly, the fruit was very tasty and looked very presentable.

I have stored them just like how they come and have had no problems. If they do dry out a bit you can rehydrate them with a little soak. I stored mine in the cupboard. Happy gardening!

They are in storage. But, they are nice but not as large as a regular food tray.

Put it in a baggie & keep unused units it in the frig and it will last many months longer after buying. Not the freezer. Let the one your going to use warm-up before using. BE CERTAIN your TRAY is DRY inside before applying also. >I don't see an expiration or sell by date on mine. If it comes out easy/runny it's still good when applying. My extra I haven't used up yet was still good 1 month ago when I last used some. Never got an order that wasn't FRESH. Best it to order/use only what you will need over a 6-8 month period. 35% is the way to go. REMEMBER the key is> DRY TRAYS!

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

Keep it out of sunlight and store it in a cool, dry, and dark place. It doesn't matter where really, I use my pantry.

T. Hanson, according to my research on-line, it depends on how and where you store the dried fruit. In pantry, cellar, etc. should last 6-12 months; refrigerator should last 1 to 2 years; freezer - indefinite. When I get these, I put 1 to 2 cups in my Food Saver machine (vacuum sealer) and seal them up, keeping them flat, then I stack them in a paper lunch bag - lying down on the counter - then, I stand the bags in my freezer. When I want them, I take out one "sealed" bag and let it come to room temperature, open it up and enjoy the best dried cherries and blueberries I have ever had. I have had some in the freezer for over a year now and used them during the holidays. You would have thought I had just received them. Traverse Bay is an exceptional product!! I hope this helps - if you have a more specific question, please post it!

the drying rack is easy to take down and put away. just unlatch it and lower it down and lift up one side and carry it with two hands to where you are going to store it.

I assume you're asking about storage when it is not hot enough to be needed. Keep it in the freezer, will stop mildew and bacteria.

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

I put the produce in dry, whether shopping at the store or farmer's market, or storing in the fridge. Hope that helps.

To make the prefilled tray last longer, every couple days I lift up the box and pull the tray out. Then I tilt it so the poo storage is up quite a ways and (holding the lid most of the way closed) gently shake the loose crystals back into the main pan to be re-used. Otherwise there's an awful lot of extra crystals that get pushed into the storage area and wasted.

Yes, unopened is absolutely the best way because they don't last super long otherwise (ask me how I know). I am almost 100% sure they do not have to be refrigerated while still unopened.

You could try refrigeration in a paper bag. I believe they keep longer in a paper bag as the moisture isn't locked in.

In small print on the container the instructions are to store in a cool, dry place, best if refrigerated. Hope this helps. I really recommend this product. It has helped me immensely. LS

Refrigerate ASAP , good for as long as the expiration date provided on the bottle☺️

It's best to seal them in an airtight plastic bag. I also add silicon packs to the box. So far, everything has remained dry and it's been over a year.
