It mainly includes preserved apricots, pear preserves, begonias, etc. Various varieties and hundreds of specifications of products have been recognized as green foods by the Ministry of Agriculture. There are many varieties of preserved fruits in Beijing. To distinguish between preserved fruits and candied fruits, according to the custom in Beijing, those with low water content and no juice are called preserved fruits. For example: preserved apples, preserved pears, preserved apricots, preserved peaches, preserved sand fruits, preserved fragrant fruits, preserved begonias, preserved dates (also known as golden candied dates) preserved green plums, preserved red fruits, etc. Because the above preserved fruits are made by processing the raw materials, boiling them in sugar, and then drying them, they have brown, golden or amber color, are bright and transparent, have a dry surface, are slightly sticky, and have a moisture content of less than 20%. This fruit product, also known as "Northern preserved fruit" or "Northern honey", is the northern form of preserved fruit.
