The Secret to Making the Best Candied Fruit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Sweet dreams are made of Pierre Lilamand’s candied fruit. He is the fifth-generation member of his family making this delectable treat in the quaint village of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. The confectioner shows us how to preserve cantaloupe, apricots, strawberries, and oranges in sugar syrup. His recipes go way, way back-candied fruit fans Nostradamus and Olivier de Serres swore by them four centuries ago.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Damn, I'm actually so sad it's only two minutes long, concise and tells me everything I need to know yet I want more, I want details, I want two hour documentaries about just this one shop and its candied fruits
@@PrettyTigerlilly thank you kind stranger
What you want is a taste.
@@WorldOfXandiar I hate how correct you are.
@@PrettyTigerlilly laughs in French
There are recipes for candied orange peel on internet, they are simple but time consumimg
I need to see someone take a bite of the pineapple
Racha Elsbach lmfao
E
Real talk! Lmao
I love how they are semi transparent they look good
Translucent...
Oh snap
When you wanna eat healthy, but not too healthy.
He*l yes
Just enough...
Remember your healthy insulin.
Of course the main intension we eat them is not because of healt but because they are tasty. 😂
I want to try them so bad. 🤤
a little bit of candy, as s treat...
Wow it's like those glass fruits that some of your older relatives would have in the living room or dining table and you kind of felt like you want to eat them but couldn't but now you can!!
Omg yaaaas
omg wth, tbh i just realized that 💀
I'm always jealous of these long standing family businesses that get past down from generation to generation. I wish my family would've had a family business.
It's not too late yet to take the first step yourself
Instead of looking for a handout start one yourself
@@hardanalljr.3138 I meant I was jealous of the YEARS of knowledge, skill and tradition that has gone into family businesses.
@@hardanalljr.3138 I don't think she's looking for a handout where did you get that from??
The best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is NOW
the candied pineapple was so interesting I honestly could've watched a whole video about the process of making that alone.
In Mexico, too.
We call It "crystallized fruit".
Oooooh yeah that's where I've seen these before. Same thing in Brazil
These are the same that you find on Pannetones right?
@@jgperes yes they are ! ;)
What, like camote, piña and calabaza?
I hope the crystal they meant is not the crystal from Breaking Bad and other drug subject related American entertainment.
@@ausfyausfy2455 lmao this dude
Imagine his reaction when he tries a fruit flavoured jelly bean
"Heresy!"
Dissapointment
Racism due to frenchness
Maza Azi sad know one understands
@@sohail7875 wait, what did he say?
Oh my gosh a whole pineapple?!? It's beautiful!! 😍
I just received a Genesis ad before this and then realized that you were sponsored by Genesis too. Cool
I’m making my own fruitcakes to vend outside for the holidays. I want to convert skeptics into loving fruitcakes! First step: learning to make my very own French candy confits. Best approach I have seen involves taking 20 minutes per day over six days to simmer in corn syrup and sugar and set aside until all moisture from the fruit has been replaced with the syrup. This gives the translucent, glazed appearance and a chewy, smooth texture ( other countries skip the corn syrup and the extended days and end up with a different confection which is crackly, but not great for baking). I’m going to let them set between simmering since my oven and I’m going to do 4 to 6 fruits over the course of six days, doing two lbs at a time of each fruit. Then I will make the fruit cakes, wrapping them well and soaking in a big amount of brandy. I want to wind awards. My “fresh” cakes will sell for $60 each and the conserved ones will be double that for a one to two year conservation and $200 for the five year couvee. Wish me luck!
That sounds great!
I love this channel! I learn something new every single day from the different stories. It's very impressive what Lilamand Confectioners do with fresh fruit. It''s like a dry Compote (fruits cooked in sugar and water). I see the difference is just letting the excess syrup on fruits to drip. Thank you for this story.
I really want to fly over and give it a taste
Shinta Kikuchi you saying that with your pfp makes me lol 😂
Vitae thank you
My brother put this on for me like 4 years ago and I don’t know how to change it😂
Fruit cake companies: Yo what if we put stale gummy bears and bottom bin raisins in our cakes
This video was too short..please make a whole documentary about this
Aw sweet, I always really admired the beautiful candied fruits this company makes. One day when I'm affluent enough I have to try one out ^_^
I have been to Provence and the candied fruits are everywhere and are so beautiful!
Hope they do a compilation of candied fruit styles around the world! Like the tanghulu in China.
Wow, those fruits are so beautiful
That looks good afffff
My Mum used to make them for Christmas. It would takes weeks of dipping, draining and drying, but sooo worth it! 👌
I can't help but imagine the candied fruit in fruitcake and thinking it all tastes the same and is too sweet, but these whole fruits look delicious. Would be willing to try
I need a longer documentary of this..and some of those candied apricots and oranges please.
In my country (pakistan), its a traditional sweet with the name of "murabba". We prepare candied carrots, apples, and raw mangoes. Its really yummy dish.
@contact me
Those all look utterly delicious. I wonder if they're available in the UK...... off we go to search the internet.
s10m0t10n you can actually buy them at Fortnum and Mason if you’re ever in London, they’re on the ground floor of the department store! A throwback to their eighteenth-century origins. They’re delicious, but very, very sweet!
@@LozzySullivan Thank you, Laurence. I live halfway up the country, so it's unlikely that I'll visit London in the foreseeable future (fell out of love with the place years ago) and, as a diabetic, they probably wouldn't do me a lot of good. They still look delightful, though. Thank you for your reply.
s10m0t10n no problem! Can’t blame you on the London front, I avoid it whenever I can - so busy and unwelcoming. They’re beautiful things, but they are pretty much pure sugar, honestly better for display than eating in any case. :) Have a great day!
*hoping to see crystallized pineapple from Harry Potter
*see them make pineapple:
There it is!!!!
😍
Got some from Mexico in my kitchen right now, might go grab a little snack. Brb
Make for quality not for quantity. I love this
I just had a Genesis add, while watching this..
Rron Selmani lol same

Wow i want more, i want to see every product, i want to hear his stories!
That is something wonderful. Thank you!
I remember visiting here during my high school senior trip, they were so delicious 🤤
Those pineapples 🍍 look delicious! 😋
I hope this channel doesn’t get cancelled or blocked
This channel definitely not great big garbage
Ah yes Vitamins with a *tinge* of sweetness
erm its cooked so good luck getting any
It looks so mesmerizing
I’ve never been a big fan of candy fruit, but man you go dude 👏
Thats aesthetic💗
Amazing. Every piece is pristine; shape perfectly preserved and translucent from complete diffusion of sugar syrup. Anyone who has tried to candy anything before knows how tedious the process is, and how hard it is to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
To bad this video is not a true how-to.
Shoot I thought this was 20mins. long. I was already invested watching, then it stops.
Yo hol' up... is that a candied pumpkin at 0:40? Damn, imagine going trick or treating and then some guy hands you a literal pumpkin that also doubles as candy while still being an actual pumpkin.
I just got a Genesis ad before this video started
Yep, me too
does youtube allow creators to control their advertisement spot ?
RIP may we remember you
Actually the candied fruits like these are called 'Murabba' in India. It is made from fruits some vegetables like - indian gooseberry too . Rose is also candied to make 'Gulkand ' , which is a mouth freshner.
I live in France and ate these before, the texture is like biting into a fruit paste, a bit dense. Taste is very very sweet and the fruit taste is not very present. Which is why I imagine it is not a popular thing anymore to eat these. Of course there is some merit to its existence but there are so many other nice things to eat.
i remember eat this at Kyoto japan. and the shop owner is the only one that selling those candied fruit
Une belle tradition artisanale, 😋👌
I got an ad for Genesis before this video started.
In Malaysia they called jeruk. Very tasty.
So happy i subscribed to this channel. Its amazing. Every video is so interesting. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
They should make candied fruit available everywhere
Rebellious kids in kindergarten: 1:00
Come to Agra
..You'll find it's a part of our tradition.
As soon as I finish watching this I’m going to Amazon to see where I can buy some
+1
Those look so satisfying
The apricots and pineapple look so tasty!
Candied fruit
Now I reeeaally want candies fruit
I need this shipped to Minnesota for me, right meow!!
I would love to try them!
Aww Jeezzz...now I have to fly to France. 😂 soooo curious about the taste...
Didnt know the french did this. I knew about tanghulu and candied almond, even candied spices. I know that candied fruit is also common in asian countries. Of cours candy apple is well known. But this is very interesting, I wonder if it tastes different.
They aren't really uncommon in my country just we usually have mango or cherries
Ughhhhhhhhh, candied fruit is indeed a special thing😍 yummmmyyy!!!!!
Looks so good ☺

I never knew Paul Ritter made candied fruits
Terrific!
Now I wanna visit this shop! 😭
Just asking if you can put a black border around the subtitles. Can't read them on a white or bright scene
Absolutely no secrets were revealed about making candied fruits
Quicklime is the secret.
The pineapple 🍍 looks so nice
Show us more!
I feel like they are waaaay too sweet. Do they only use syrup? Because this would be great tasting with some additives.
The TASTE. I wanna taste it
