Candied Fruit - 1 Lb Tub (Diced Citron)

I promised my brother I would make him a fruit cake for Christmas, but then couldn't find any dried fruit locally! I'm happy that Amazon had some, and the delivery time fit my schedule to make the cake and deliver it before Christmas. I kept out just enough for a batch of Christmas scones! Yummy!

Sweet! Just like any other brand.

I get this product for the Holiday Baking Bonanza that happens at our home every year. This year I tried this brand for the first time and was not disappointed. The flavor is amazing, it looks pretty in the baked items, mostly fruitcakes, Panettone's, and Pandoro's. The flavor and texture really make my baked goods feel more European in flavor and appearance. My husband made the suggestion that we take some of the citrus peel and put it into some brandy or vodka and let it soak and see what happens to the alcohol, like making your own Grand Marnier...I am thinking he might be onto something there.

There was a bit of excess syrup in the fruit but the taste and chewiness were delightful. This mix includes red and green cherries as well as red, green, and undyed pineapple. The size of the pieces was uniform and solidly of a chopped consistency. Made wonderful fruitcake cookies.

The Citron was exactly as I expected...Fresh & green. And, it was a better value for the price!

It's becoming difficult to find old fashioned candied fruit mix in my local grocery stores so I was so relieved to find it on Amazon. My mom's fruitcake recipe is almost a century old. This fruit is exactly like what was used by her.

More expensive than I had hoped, but can't find candied citron locally, and need it for baking. Flavor is good at least.

Nice. Not as strong taste as I expected. Used it in cookies and had to use double the amount to really taste the orange in them. Wish this did not contain high fructose corn syrup though!!
