another way to easily remove sea buckthorn

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

another way to easily remove sea buckthorn, I let these dry on the branches slowly since they were just for seed. surprised that now just brushing over the fruit and they fall off, probably similar to freezing them. now I wonder if you set them in a dehydrator when fresh so you get some more pristine dried fruit. when I dry tomatoes I'll do them at 35c for.a day, so like the temp of a hot summer day, until they're crispy. Then I'll bag them and add a teaspoon of water to rehydrate evenly back to a just gummy texture, which seems perfect for storage. I wonder if the same would work to make sea buckthorn "raisons"
