• Candied fruits are made by cooking and soaking fruits in sugar syrup. The sugar syrup replaces the natural moisture in the fruit, sweetening and preserving it. Cherries, pineapples, dates, oranges, lemons, limes, apricots and peaches are examples of fruits that can be preserved by candying. The process can be used for whole fruit, sliced fruit or fruit peel. Depending on the size of the fruit, processing can take several days to several months. FoodReference.com: Candied Fruits
