Step 7
Then transfer the candied fruit to a sieve and leave for a couple of hours to let all the excess syrup drain off. After that, dry the peaches using any convenient method. You can leave them at room temperature, dry them in the oven at a low temperature (50-60°C), or use a food dehydrator. I use the latter method, and it takes about a day to dry these peach candied fruits. After drying, be sure to let the candied fruit cool down completely.

The finished candied fruits should remain fairly soft and pliable, but not wet or overly sticky. Roll them in powdered sugar and store in a jar or airtight food container.
