Crystallised fruit, also known as GLACE fruit, is a type of preserved fruit that has been coated in a sugar syrup and then dried. The process of crystallisation gives the fruit a glossy appearance and a chewy texture. The sugar syrup also helps to preserve the fruit, allowing it to be stored for longer periods of time. Crystallised fruit is often used in baking and desserts, as well as being eaten on its own as a snack.
