You might check these files in the FOOD-SWEETS-DECORATED section of my
Florilegium:
candy-msg        (127K) 12/11/98    Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.
Candying-art       (9K)  6/29/99    Period and modern descriptions of the 
                                       candying process by Alys Katharine.

These two from Mistress Renata might have some info on candied spices but
if not, perhaps the other info in them will be of interest:
Roses-a-Sugar-art (21K)  7/15/98    "Divers Pretty Things Made Of Roses &
Sugar" 
                                       by Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.

                                       Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
