Candied Fruit for Baking

What are Candied Fruits?

Candied fruits are fruits that have been preserved in sugar through a process that involves soaking the fruit in sugar syrup and then drying it. The sugar draws out moisture from the fruit, preventing spoilage and effectively preserving it. The final result is a sweet, sticky, and sometimes crunchy fruit that retains much of the original fruit's flavor and texture, though it can be more concentrated and sweet.
