One of my favorite treats is candied fruit. Simmer in a sugar syrup, let it soak in the syrup for a few days (you can make the syrup progressively stronger if you want), then dehydrate. Very tasty, but I have to use the fruit roll-up tray.
It started as a way to show my nephew what “sugarplums” were, and kind of grew from there. I wasn’t able to make any this Christmas because my dehydrator conked out.
I would probably enjoy your candied fruit. I love all fruit prepared any ol way.
