Candied Cherries

Candied Cherries are cherries preserved in sugar syrup and often glazed, commonly used in baking, confectionery and as cocktail or dessert garnishes; glacé or candied cherries have a long tradition in European pâtisserie. They are an energy-dense sweet ingredient and contain 78g of sugar per 100 g, so they are best used sparingly rather than as a fresh-fruit substitute. Nutritionally they provide very little protein or fiber and only minor amounts of vitamins and minerals compared with fresh fruit, and because they are a heavily processed preserve they are classified among ultra‑processed foods; enjoy them occasionally for color and sweetness, but consider less‑sugared cherry options when you want the fruit benefits.
