The paper presents the results of the variability of quality of dried fruits of ‘^a~anska Rodna’ during the fourteen-year period, depending on the characteristics of the fresh fruits used for drying and climatic conditions during their ripening. Fruits from the plantations of Fruit Research Institute ^a~ak, at Preljinsko Brdo facility, where standard agro- and pomotechnical measures are regularly applied, were used for the examination. The fruits intended for drying of approximately sameweight and adequate ripeness degree were picked selectively. Drying was performed in the experimental dryer at the air temperature 90°C until reaching 75% of the total dry matter in the dried fruit.Based on the results of examining chemical composition of fresh and dried plums, it can be concluded that the fruits of ‘^a~anska Rodna’ are suitable for drying regardless of climatic conditions during the summer period and that the desired sweet-sour taste of prunes can be obtained by processingfruits with soluble solids content higher than 18%.
