  1. Sun-drying: Place the freshly picked fruit in a ventilated, cool place for 2 days, then dry it in weaker sunlight. At night, cover it well and do not let it be exposed to dew. Do not turn it with your hands, so as to avoid the fruit blistering and turning black.    2. Oven-drying: First bake at 40-50°C for 24-36 hours, until the fruit skin is slightly wrinkled; then bake at 45°C-50°C for 36-48 hours, until the fruit has fully shrunk and wrinkled; finally bake at 50°C-55°C for 24 hours, and it will be thoroughly dry. For fully dried fruit, remove the fruit stems and debris, and it is ready for medicinal use. The drying ratio of the fruit is 4-4.5:1, with a moisture content of 10%-12%. The best quality fruit has soft and moist skin, abundant polysaccharides, uniform red color, large size and thick flesh, and no oily fruit, impurities, insect damage, or mildew.
