Candied fruits are pieces of fruit that are cooked in sugar syrup and then dried, resulting in a soft texture on the inside and slightly firm on the outside, with a sweet flavor and vibrant colors. Among the most common are papaya, pineapple, orange, citron, cherry and citrus fruit peels, cut into cubes or strips.

Widely used in traditional recipes, especially in cakes, panettone, sweet breads, cookies and Christmas desserts, candied fruits can also be eaten alone, combined with nuts, chestnuts and other dried fruits in decorative and tasty mixes.
