Drting gourds

[Smalltimefarmer]

I bought some cute gourds today and was thinking of trying to preserve them. I have a dehydrator and a cold frame. Are either of them viable or do I try my luck with just letting them dry in a dark room?
.thanks for any help.

I'd hang them up and let them dry. It's going to take awhile.
