I'd candy them. Takes a fair bit of time over a few weeks but worth doing.

I spent weeks making a selection of candied fruit for Christmas presents once, made a load of little coloured card boxes to put them in and gave everyone in the family a box after Christmas Lunch.

Having just eaten a full meal most of them said thanks and put them aside for later, except my Brother in law's rather "stout" dad, who ripped the top off the box, got a dessert spoon and woofed the lot down in seconds

[QUOTE="Zigs, post: 1949, member: 12"] I'd candy them. Takes a fair bit of time over a few weeks but worth doing. I spent weeks making a selection of candied fruit for Christmas presents once, made a load of little coloured card boxes to put them in and gave everyone in the family a box after Christmas Lunch. Having just eaten a full meal most of them said thanks and put them aside for later, except my Brother in law's rather "stout" dad, who ripped the top off the box, got a dessert spoon and woofed the lot down in seconds :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
