Great question, Linda. The water is inside the fruit, and since it's frozen, only the ice crystals that have formed on the outside are rinsed off. If you were to, say, soak the fruit in water until it was thawed and then rinsed it, the juices from the inside would be more likely to leak out and be rinsed away. But since they're frozen, all the flavor sticks around, and you're just removing the ice crystals which dilute the flavor. Happy baking! Annabelle@KAF
