4. Pate de Fruit
Pate de fruit, also known as pastry gems, are familiar to anyone who’s ever gone through culinary or pastry school. They’re little candies that are made with pure fruit purees, sugar, pectin, and citric acid. These little squares of chewy candy taste exactly like the pure fruit, only concentrated. Rolled in crunchy sugar, pate de fruit taste like summer in the middle of winter.
While they’re not impossible to make at home, it’s helpful to do some research first! If you’re making them yourself, you can experiment with unique flavors and combinations.
