candied fruits
Syrup-preserved produce
Candied fruits are fruits preserved by cooking in sugar syrup until saturated, then dried.
The process replaces moisture with sugar, creating a translucent, chewy texture with an intensely sweet taste.
Common varieties include candied citrus peel, cherries, and ginger.
They appear in fruitcakes, panettone, and holiday confections: The candied fruits glistened on top of the cake.
