@crowdedkitchen: Orange & Pomegranate Pâtes de Fruits (French fruit jellies) for Day 6 of our Recipe Advent Calendar! 🍊🎄🎁 This process dates back over a thousand years(!!) and it has stayed popular for good reason! Fruit juice is boiled down with sugar and pectin, and then set into a firm jelly and coated in a layer of sugar. These make for such a gorgeous DIY holiday gift, and they’re naturally vegan! FULL RECIPE LINKED IN OUR PROFILE. We highly recommend using the recipe from our website, as it has a lot more tips and information than we are able to include in the caption below. For each flavor: 2 cups fruit juice 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for coating 3 tablespoons classic pectin 1 tablespoon lemon juice If you're using freshly-squeezed juice, squeeze and strain your fruit juice. To a heavy-bottomed saucepan about 9 inches in diameter with a candy thermometer attached to the side, add the fruit juice and bring to a simmer. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and pectin, then slowly pour the mixture into the simmering fruit juice, whisking as you go to prevent clumping or sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Keep cooking until it reaches 223˚F. It will take 15-20 minutes or longer to get to the target temperature. Turn off the heat, then add in the lemon juice, stir, and quickly pour into a roughly 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch parchment paper-lined dish. Allow the pâte de fruit to sit at room temperature for 24-36 hours. A long period of sitting and drying out will help prevent weeping (moisture coming out) after they are rolled in sugar. Spray a knife with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil and cut the pâte de fruit block into squares that are roughly 1.5-inches x 1 .5-inches. Add about half cup of sugar to a plate and place each square into the sugar, flipping it over and coating all sides.
