Citrus peels (orange or lemon ) are not totally dry, they are boiled in sugar hence they are sticky , you can easily chop them as desired.They are ready to use. mostly available in market during Christmas time. otherwise available online..
rest of the dryfruits are easily available at the grocers.

In reply to neha Singhvi. We use a mixture of dried fruits, but nothing is mandatory - use whatever is available to you. Orange Peel adds a great flavor, it is also easy to make it at home.

In reply to Ben. I have never used water in the place of alcohol, so I am not sure of the shelf-life and the impact to the taste. It would be better to use Orange or Apple Juice, for not more than 7 days.

where should I buy the dried fruits? All I see is some orange peel and citron mix everywhere which is not completely dried.

If we use water instead of alcohol for soaking dried fruits and nuts , will it turn out okay? And how many days should we soak in water?
