I personally don't like these sugared citrus fruits at all. Mother couldn't afford or didn't like them either. She made her fruit cakes a month or two ahead (of Christmas). She stored them with the apples and oranges. She made and sold lots. If I remember (correctly) she baked these in small containers that were round, square and oblong. -- Iola Salmen
