Glacé fruits are fruits that have been preserved by a process of candied or crystallized treatment. This involves soaking the fruits in sugar syrup, which helps to retain their shape and flavor while extending their shelf life. Common fruits used for this process include cherries, pineapples, and oranges. These sweet treats are often used in baking, decorating desserts, or enjoyed as snacks. The process enhances the natural sweetness of the fruits, making them a popular ingredient in various confections and holiday dishes. Glacé fruits can also be found in fruitcakes and other festive recipes.
