“Nature’s Candy not only teaches you the how and why behind candying fruit, but also provides a comprehensive foundation for candying any fruit you encounter. The trouble with a book as well-written and accessible as this is that everypiece of fruit you find will have you asking, ‘I wonder how this will taste candied?’”
