If you wanted to eschew that part of the recipe and cut the peices
smaller and just blanch them, you would come up with a more
interesting outcome.  It wouldn't be true to the
original recipe, but I think it would be interesting and worth trying.

Well, there's another recipe that I'd like to try, but it's more complicated.  It's a recipe to make 17 pounds of compost.  The ingredients are:
1 lb. prunes
1-1/2 lbs. hazelnuts
1 lb. raisins
13 lbs. of assorted preserves, drained of their syrup
1/2 lb. horseradish

There is a long process involving ground mustard, sweet spices, wine and vinegar, and eventually all of these ingredients are united with the preserves, etc. in a pot.

It could be that the 1/2 lb. horseradish is meant to be some of the candied horseradish, but I have a suspicion that it might be fresh grated root.  Horseradish is similarly used in the Menagier's recipe for compost.
