Various ingredients dry in the sun (6)
I believe the answer is:
sundry
'various' is the definition.
(sundry means various or diverse)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sundry that I've seen before include "Assorted, miscellaneous" , "Various, assorted" , "more than a couple" , "All and . . . . . . means everyone" , "All and . . . . . . includes everyone" .)
