Leah, you can candy your own fruit by boiling it in simple syrup (or a syrup that's one part sugar and three parts water) for about 40 to 50 minutes at a medium-low heat, turning the fruit occasionally. The fruit should look slightly translucent but still intact. Feel free to add a splash of alcohol or flavor extract of your choice for an extra kick. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
