candied pineapple

Sugared golden rings

Candied pineapple is pineapple that has been preserved by soaking in sugar syrup and then dried, giving it a sweet, chewy texture and translucent appearance.

It appears in fruitcakes, trail mixes, and as a standalone confection.

The candying process concentrates the fruit's flavor while extending its shelf life considerably.
