Comfit

Comfit is a sweet treat that is kind of like a jelly or jam, but even sweeter! It's made by cooking fruit, like strawberries or apricots, with lots and lots of sugar until it turns into a thick, sticky paste.

Once it cools down and hardens a little bit, you can roll it into little balls or shapes and cover it in sugar. These sugar-covered treats are called comfits!

Comfits were really popular a long time ago, especially in Europe during the medieval era. People would eat them for special occasions or give them as gifts. Nowadays, comfits aren't as common, but some people still love making and eating them as a fun and yummy treat.
