Old Frozen candied fruit?

[Sliverfox]

Cleaning out chest freezer,,lots of older foods in it.

Several cartons of candied cherries, pineapple.
Wondering if soaking in hot water will soften them,make them usable?

Not sure. I'd try it on someone you don't like, first. Just to be safe.

Well,, I'm sure there are some critters down back that will enjoy them.

If it's freezer burnt, I don't think so.

Well, this was not really “food”to begin with since it was probably drenched in high fructose corn syrup. So as long as it tastes ok, it shouldn’t be any more harm (or benefit) to you than when it was fresh.

Before discarding, I’d try dicing fine and sprinkling on vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.

Thanks all, but it all looks very dried.
Wish I had dated stuff like that when I put it away.
