SHORTLISTED FOR 2025 TASTE CANADA AWARDS

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF 2024 BY Bon Appetit, National Post, and Dorie Greenspan

The definitive cookbook for candying fruit, and baking with it, filled with delicious, beautiful, and surprisingly uncomplicated recipes from Master Preserver Camilla Wynne.

    In Nature’s Candy, award-winning cookbook author Camilla Wynne welcomes you into the magical world of candying fruit—the classic tradition of imbuing fruit with sugar to preserve it as a glistening confection—and tempts curious bakers to work with this fascinating ingredient in a choose your own adventure–style masterclass. Will you candy the whole fruit (cherries, anyone?) or just pieces (hello, orange peel!)? And which of Camilla’s classic and contemporary baking recipes will you select to let it shine? Will it be the Stollen Pound Cake or maybe the Ginger Cashew Caramel Corn? Or perhaps the Banana Split Blondies?
    As Camilla’s previous cookbook, Jam Bake, was for baking with jam, Nature’s Candy is a game-changing cookbook for baking with candied fruit, thanks to its:

• Foundational Candying Methods: With nine streamlined techniques to candy your fruit—and a handy chart to guide you on which candied methods are best for each type of fruit—you will create artisanal, jewel-like confections in no time.

• Decadent Recipes for Bakers of All Levels: Level up your baking and confection-making by using candied fruit (and its syrup) in accessible recipes for cakes, cookies, pies, and even more fruity desserts. Enjoy Red Currant Cupcakes, Fruitcake Cookies, Candied Fig & Walnut Baklava, and many more.

• Helpful Tips, Simplifications & More: Thanks to Camilla’s FAQ section, tips, and substitutions, candying fruit is now as easy as baking cookies. And if you don’t feel like candying, don’t let that stop you baking—just follow Camilla’s helpful advice on using store-bought candied fruit instead.

With its inspired photography and design, this one-of-a-kind cookbook on how to make and put candied fruit to good use—plus the fascinating history and science behind it—will turn any baker into a candied fruit expert.
