In the Santa Clara Valley, prunes, apricots, peaches, and pears used to be dried in the open sun on large "flats" - wood sheets with bracing along the edges. The fruit would be cut or prepared in a drying shed, and carried out to open fields for the multi-day drying. Stacks of flats were a common sight, both to treat the fruit with sulfur fumes, or to carry multiple sheets into the dry yard.
