According to NutsOnLine.com...

"Glazed Mixed Peel is a diced combination of orange peel, cherries,
and lemon peel. Ideal for fruit cakes."

I use it when I make the once-every-other-year-cake for the only
person I know who LIKES it! - honest to gosh the cake can last at
least 2 years! - I use the good Icky Stuff and soak it in rum for 24
hours - not gummy, not nasty - heady might be a good description. Then
when the cake is done, I sprinkle it with rum every day for 2 weeks
and wrap it tightly. When you open the container, lean over it and you
can get a buzz.
