Add 125 grams of blueberries, 125 grams of strawberries, and 125 grams of cherries into three separate bowls.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar-free sweetener to each bowl.

Boil the fruits with the sugar-free sweetener until it melts completely.

Once the sweetener is melted, add the blueberries first and boil until they become sticky.

Next, add the strawberries and continue boiling until they also become sticky.

Turn off the heat and remove the fruits from the water carefully as they may be soft.

Place the fruits on a plastic sheet to dry, either in sunlight or under a fan for quicker drying.

Allow the fruits to dry completely until no moisture remains.

The leftover water will turn into fruit juice, which can be stored separately or mixed together.

Store the dried fruits in separate bottles or mix them for a combined fruit juice flavor.

These sugar-free dried fruits can be stored in the fridge for up to six months.
