Cape Cod Dried Fruit Mix | Cranberry & Blueberry

Cranberries (pure cane sugar, sunflower oil), Blueberries (pure cane sugar, sunflower oil).

The mix is bright and fruity, with tart cranberries playing against the rounder, sweeter blueberries. The texture is soft and chewy, the way good dried fruit should be, with a little natural stickiness from the cane sugar and the sunflower-oil coating keeping the pieces from clumping. It is sweet but not cloying, thanks to the natural tartness of the cranberries.

Store Gerbs Cape Cod Dried Fruit Mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from heat and direct sunlight, and reseal the bag between uses to keep the fruit moist and chewy. Stored this way it stays fresh for up to a year. If the kitchen is warm or humid, refrigerating after opening helps preserve texture. If pieces stick together, a gentle shake usually separates them.
