That I can get, and something enormous called cedro. I used to know what it
was, don't recall, but it's so big that it is sold by the half. Candied
peel hasn't been a problem, it's the fruit that disappeared. I had some of
the best dried fruit of my life this year. I was a date and fig hater, now
I am a convert.
