My subject should have been Candied Fruit vs. Candied peel -- damn!

No, I'm talking about
http://tinyurl.com/2ou8t6
(hope it comes up)
where the picture is described as Candied Fruit and Candied Peel.

When I think about 'zest,' I think of just the (describing oranges) orange
peel 'without' the fleshy white.

When I think of peel, I think of the orange peel 'with' the fleshy white.
Is this distinction correct?


When I think of candied fruit, I think of what KA is showing as Candied
Fruit 'and' Candied Peel. Also when I think of candied fruit, it is that
'stuff' you find at all the grocery stores at holiday time, but it is never
as nice-looking as the photo at K.A.

My puzzlement is this. When you buy this type of fruit for a pannetone, do
you purchase anything that has the word, "candied" in it.
And if so, do you purchase 'candied PEEL' or 'candied ORANGE/candied fruit'?

Oh, my.
Too much information for a query, I know.
