York Fruits are a brand of fruit flavour jellies (traditionally popular in Great Britain at Christmas). The sweets were formerly made by Terry's (in York) and more recently by Kraft Foods. They are now manufactured by Smith Kendon in Lancaster, although have had two other owners since no longer being a Terry's product and were at one time made in Eastern Europe.
The jellies are available to buy in most British confectioners and supermarkets and are sold in 200g, 250g, and 400g cardboard cartons, containing two plastic trays (one on top of the other), each holding a number of sweets. The jellies are manufactured in circular, half-moon, teardrop and diamond shapes and are flavoured lemon, apple, strawberry, orange, blackcurrant and pear.
Famous quotes containing the words york and/or fruits:
“It is wrong to be harsh with the New York critics, unless one admits in the same breath that it is a condition of their existence that they should write entertainingly about something which is rarely worth writing about at all.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“They may bring their fattest cattle and richest fruits to the fair, but they are all eclipsed by the show of men. These are stirring autumn days, when men sweep by in crowds, amid the rustle of leaves like migrating finches; this is the true harvest of the year, when the air is but the breath of men, and the rustling of leaves is as the trampling of the crowd.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
