I am totally confounded by the term, candied fruit, vs. candied peel.

Re Candied Lemon peel:
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/...0570&id=1 078
My links, tiny or otherwise never seem to show up.

Shown online KingArthurs catalog, they show the lemon peel in square-ish
pieces like I'm used to seeing in the grocery store. How can this be, when
peel is such a fine sliver. Has it become like a 'breaded piece of meat,"
picking up the sugar as it candies?

Thanks.

Are you thinking of the zest? When you candy fruit "peel", it
includes colored zest and the fleshy white part underneath.

I usually make mine in long thin strips. Sometimes I dip half-dip the
strips in chocolate and they are served with coffee after dinner.

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.

I'd rather not get into semantics. What you posted a picture of is
perfectly acceptable for pannetone

OK, I was getting mixed up. You don't want to know how to candy
whatever it is... you want to know what it is that you're buying (like
candied citron) when you make panettone?

OK. Did a little digging....

It's just semantics. What you're buying is the peel, not the flesh,
when you buy candied citrus. Candied cherries and pineapple are
flesh, of course.

Here's a candied citrus recipe anyway. It's easy to make, so save
your peels in the freezer and make a batch when you have enough to
make it worthwhile.

Citrus peel can be quite thick. I've seen some that was thinner, but some
is quite thick.

If you read the text beside the picture it says candied lemon
peel...candied fruit is the general section the lemon peel is filed
under.

or their candied fruit- lemon zest...it is just filed there.

I find both in panettone, which is a legally protected recipe-- if you don't
follow it you can't call it panettone commercially. My supermarket sold
both peel and fruit last year and the fruit was a revelation, inspiring all
kinds of cookery I don't usually do. They also sold a diced mixture which I
used for hot cross buns. This year only the mixture or the peel, and I
pleaded with them to no avail.
So I Googled on the brand thinking I could find it elsewhere, but the site
was so flashed up that my dial-up couldn't handle it.
They do export to the USA, and the brand is Sol & Frutta, if anyone wants to
look for it. The fruit included strawberries, kiwi, papaya, as well as the
usual suspects. It was pure heaven.

Do you mean they would sell you either but not both?

They didn't carry the candied fruit this year. I asked why and the produce

Yes, I understand that, but one can interpret that filed under the main
heading of candied fruit, the lemon peel is candied? Or is all lemon peel
candied? Zat is ze question.

Thanks again, sf.
I understand that the grapefruit peels will be large, but will the orange or
lemon peels pick up size?

So -- the little fruit squares one buys in the little boxes are usually
peels? IOW 'candied peels'?

Oh, I hope this is so! ;-))

If you're buying lemon peel, it's generally candied. Spice Islands used to
sell dried lemon peel/zest in a spice jar, but I'd consider that the
exception.

Absolutely. There was a day when one could often find whole lemon, orange,
and citron peels, beautifully candied and ready to be cut in any size you
wanted. Haven't seen that in at last 30 years.

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.

So you want to know if the lemon peel is candied or if all lemon peel is
candied....No, not all lemon peel is candied.

I guess it depends on a candied fruit makers defination of peel and
whether the white pith is or isn't allowed....Search me.

I'm guessing the pith is allowed...according to most candied peel recipes
I've seen; the peel get repeatedly blanched before a good long soak in
simmering sugar syrup....the excessive blanching would remove any
bitterness in the pith.

Unless you order it from a specialty company, it's very difficult to get
any kind of candied peel in the US except around the holiday baking time.
Getting whole pieces is practically impossible. General availability of
these items seems far more widespread in the UK and Europe.

Cedro is citron, AFAIK. This is what I want for pannetone. I think I'm
going to have to order it from Italy. If I can find it.
My problem is that I don't want anything sulphured -- even harder.

No, they don't enlarge when you cook them. Their size depends on how
thick the peel is which varies by variety.

I don't buy much candy. Not sure what you mean. Sorry.

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.
