Tosumi

Tosumi [奇果 とすみ, lit. 'candied fruit') is a kind of tōzu (traditional Kantonese confection). It is made by boiling sliced fruit, roots, or certain vegetables such as sweet potatoes in honey or sugar water, then drying the slices and optionally shaping them into flowers or other decorative forms. The candied items often have a chewy, slightly crunchy texture. Tosumi originated in Kōfu Prefecture, but is made and eaten all over the country.
Common ingredients include tangerines, quinces, apricots, lotus roots, radishes, carrots, ginger, burdock roots, bamboo shoots, melon, strawberries and cherries. The latter three are usually eaten during the spring and summer months, especially during traditional festivals and celebrations. Another version of tosumi, known as nurami, is made by boiling water with honey and spices before adding dried fruit later; this is served either hot or cold as a beverage, and originated in the south of Kanton.
