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.

To anyone: on this page: http://www.barryfarm.com/candied_fruit.htm It is impossible looking at them telling the difference. They look the same, even though one will say peels, one will say fruit. However, none of these would I buy because of the first ingredient. One could say, well, one says, fruit, and one says peel. Dee Dee |
