Remember those jelly candies shaped like slices of watermelon, but in the colors and flavors of many fruits? With a nibble, the green orbs in this tray of frutas cristalizadas brought lime slices to mind. (If your childhood was filled with Pueblan candied fruit instead of Jersey Shore jellies, that memory might work the other way around.)
The candied lime, however, is all rind. For a jellylike texture, look to other frutas ($1-$2 each), perhaps one with a flavor not yet co-opted by the candy-slice makers. Say, guava.
