Product Description

These fruits confits (glazed candied fruits) are a treat for the eye as well as the tongue. Beautifully preserved, they are the product of a painstaking process in which the natural liquid in the fruit is gradually replaced by a sugar syrup while conserving the full flavor of the fruit. To produce a fruit confit, the fruit is placed in successive 24-hour baths in a sugar-syrup; during this period the concentration of sugar is gradually increased. The number of baths varies depending on the fruit. Five or six days' worth of baths are required for cherries, while several months are needed for clementines. One bite of these fruits will show you why they were a favorite of the popes of Avignon. They are made in the Provençal city of Apt, the capital of fruits confits, which is surrounded by the fruit orchards of the Luberon. Made in France. Net Weight: 250 grams.
