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.

“Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“I care not by what measure you end the war. If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America, whatever may be your object, depend upon it, as true as effect follows cause, that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers, and poison the fair fruits of freedom. Slavery and freedom cannot exist together.”
—Ernestine L. Rose (1810–1892)
