Sealed Storage at Room Temperature: When stored in a sealed container at room temperature, homemade dried fruit typically lasts for about three months. Although the fruit has not undergone treatments such as sulfur fumigation or the addition of preservatives, the airtight seal effectively slows down moisture loss and oxidation, thereby extending its shelf life.

Sealed Refrigerated Storage: If homemade dried fruit is stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, its shelf life can be extended to 6–8 months. Refrigeration further reduces the rate of oxidation and inhibits microbial growth, helping to preserve the fruit's quality and texture for a longer period.
