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.
