Candied fruit, also called crystallised fruit, is fruit and peel preserved in sugar, ready for enrobing in chocolate, decorating cakes and muffins, adding to chocolate as an inclusion, or enjoying as it is. Our candied orange, lemon, ginger and blueberries all come from SOC Chef, with orange and lemon in several cuts.
Which Candied Peel Is Best for Enrobing?
The straight orange, lemon and ginger strips are SOC Chef's enrobing grade, made with carefully selected fruit that has very little pith and kept in frozen storage to hold its full flavour. The orange is made from three specific types of Valencia orange. Choose the strips drained, or dusted with dextrose.
Which Candied Fruit Suits Cakes and Muffins?
The drained orange and lemon peel strips, slices and shavings, and the orange peel cubes, have a brighter colour, so they work well for decorating cakes and muffins and as an inclusion in chocolate, as well as for enrobing. Crystallised Ginger Chips, at 3 - 6mm, and Blueberries with Dextrose complete the range.
