Jelled Fruit Gummy Candy -- Low Sweetener | Pate des fruits

Step 1

Prepare fruit or juice. Note: this could include boiling down the fruit or juice - to some degree - to concentrate the flavor.

Step 2

Measure mashed fruit or juice or somewhat boiled down fruit or juice into sauce pan.

Step 3

Add calcium water and lemon or lime juice (if called for in the recipe) and mix well.

Step 4

Measure sugar or room temperature honey into a bowl. Thoroughly mix correct amount of pectin powder into sweetener. Set aside.

Step 5

Bring fruit mixture to a full boil. Add pectin-sweetener mixture, stirring vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin while the mixture comes back up to a boil. Once the mixture returns to a full boil, remove it from the heat.

Step 6

Put the mixture in a shallow pan. Allow it to cool then chill in the refrigerator until firm. When the mixture is firm, cut into pieces and coat the pieces in a 50/50 mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch to take away the sticky feel.
