Someone has asked me to translate a recipe and I don't know whether or not he will find an ingredient there. Could you please help me?

I'll try to describe it. I'm talking about small pieces of fruit which have granulated sugar on them.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Are you talking about candied or glazed fruit?

Not candied fruit I think. candied fruit could be glaced fruit

we call it "mixed dried fruit" this leaves you able to use the supermarket packet type or cut up your own from whats available.

Dried fruit, at least in the US is something else. I am thinking on the stuff on the top left, although the stuff on the top right looks like candied fruit.

Hey, Phoenix, I've been meaning to ask you how your Pseudoachondroplastic dysplasia is coming along.

Do you have that under control?

Gus- If you think that pseudoachondroplastic dysplasia is synonymous with being overly not tall, you need to go back and take that anatomy course that you flunked the first time around! Laughing

Wow, I didn't know you guys would try to help me so fast. Thank you very much indeed!!! You're VERY nice people!!!!

I'm confused. I don't know whether they are glazed fruits ( http://www.thenutfactory.com/kitchen/facts/facts-glazed-fruits.html ) or dried fruits infused with sugar ( http://www.bulkfoods.com/dried_fruits.htm ). One important thing is that there are many kinds of fruits mixed together with sugar on them. We say "frutas cristalizadas" in Portuguese.

P.S.: I would NEVER ignore you, gustavratzenhofer. I couldn't reply to my topic before.

The best translation, as already said, is "candied fruits".
