About Candied cherry
Candied cherry is cherry fruit preserved by cooking or soaking it in sugar syrup; it is commonly sold whole, halved, or chopped. Commercial products may be made from different cherry types and may include colouring or other ingredients, so the name alone does not specify a single recipe.
The pieces are glossy and sweet, with a soft, chewy texture and a concentrated fruit flavour. They are used in baking, confectionery, and as a garnish or mix-in. Products range from lightly preserved fruit to firmer, more heavily sugared cherries, and may be packed wet or drained.
