Hi.
I'm translating a menu and I have various references to items that have been confitado. I understand what a "confit" is, but when I have "tomated confitados" vs. "pato confitado" ... are they both "confit" -- as in "tomato confit" and "duck confit"? Or is "confited tomato" doable? I'm just wondering if there's any difference between confit and confited.
Thanks for the help!

: I found a definition of Confit: "Meat (usually goose, duck or pork) that is slowly cooked in its own fat and preserved with the fat packed around it as a seal." Confit tomatoes are baked and then sealed in a jar with oil

sugar plum
Confit means "sugar plum". Peharps confitado means "sweetened". (sweetened duck/sweetened tomato)

coated or preserved with sugar
Both "confit" and "confitado" come from the verb "confitar", which has the two above mentioned meanings. I would probably say "tomatoes preserved with sugar" and "duck coated with sugar".
