York Fruits are a brand of fruit-flavoured jellies, traditionally popular in Great Britain at Christmas.[1]
Manufacture
[edit]The sweets were formerly made by Terry's of York, and more recently by Kraft Foods (1993-2008) and Smith Kendon[2][3] in Lancaster (2008-2012). The brand was acquired by Tangerine Confectionery in 2012,[4] which was bought by Valeo Confectionery in 2018.[5]
Sweets
[edit]The box contains 200g, or 22 sweets, about the size of chocolates. The sugar-coated jellies are manufactured in circular, half-moon, teardrop and diamond shapes and are flavoured lemon, raspberry, strawberry, mandarin, lime and cherry.[nb 1]
