Top Things To Do in Dundee
Davidson of Dundee began in the early 1900’s with T.W. Davidson’s orange, grapefruit and tangerine groves located near Dundee, Florida. Today, Davidson of Dundee is still growing those juicy citrus fruits; and they now offer one-of-a-kind marmalade, jellies, coconut patties, and chocolates as well. But if you want to take part in a true Central Florida confectionery tradition, you have to try their citrus delicacy candies.
Candy and marmalade are slow cooked in copper kettles, one batch at a time – the traditional way. Best of all, the ingredients used are native to Florida, including citrus fruits grown in their own groves and pure cane sugar from the everglades. Davidson of Dundee’s sweet treats are so popular that when the season hits, they make 4,000-lbs of marmalade and 3,600-lbs of candies every day.
