Back in the day, pure sucrose was quite hard to come by and people were more sensitive to the taste of sweetness. Thus even the sweetness of fruit was considered a real pleasure. Today, I enjoyed some tea with a palette of dried fruits including grape currents, preserved mango, and candied ginger.
I have a lot of dried fruits: Lilikoi, ginger, orange, mango, cranberry, plum, peach, and raisin.
