Why gourmet candied fruit assortment make a good gift

  • Candied fruit is a traditional part of holiday baking, from fruitcake to sweet Christmas breads.
  • Bright colours make the assortment look festive in a jar, tin or gift basket.
  • It works as both a snack and a baking ingredient, so little goes to waste.

What to look for

  • Check which fruits are included, since some mixes lean heavily on pineapple or citrus peel.
  • Look at piece size; whole slices suit snacking while diced fruit is handier for baking.
  • Note whether artificial colours are used, if the recipient prefers more natural-looking fruit.
