When something is 'candied,' it's coated or preserved with sugar. Think of candied fruit 🍒 or nuts 🥜; they're sweet, shiny, and often used as decorations or treats. Candying involves cooking the item in sugar syrup, which crystallizes as it cools. This process both sweetens and preserves the item. It's like giving something a sugary makeover, transforming it into a delightful confection. It's a classic method of adding sweetness and preventing spoilage.
