2. Once the dried fruits have cooled, you should transfer them to an airtight container. For example, sealed cans, plastic containers, bags that can be vacuum sealed, etc., are good choices. Make sure the container is airtight, as exposure to oxygen will reduce the shelf life of dried fruit, so make sure the container is insulated from air.
