York Fruits are a brand of fruit-flavoured jellies, traditionally popular in Great Britain at Christmas.
Manufacture
The sweets were formerly made by Terry's of York, and more recently by Kraft Foods (1993-2008) and Smith Kendon in Lancaster (2008-2012). They are now produced by the company Tangerine Confectionery, following its acquisition of Smith Kendon in 2012.
Sweets
The box contains 200g, or 22 sweets, about the size of chocolates. The sugar-coated jellies are manufactured in circular, half-moon, teardrop and diamond shapes and are flavoured lemon, raspberry, strawberry, mandarin, lime and cherry.
