What is more beautiful than to give your sweetheart Pâte de Fruits on Valentine's Day? It is a lovely sweet and fruity French candy, made with love! We also cut hearts out of it, then they are extra sweet for Valentine's Day! The candies are super easy to make, the hardest part is that you need pectin and that is not easy to find. We ordered it online, which is a shame because then of course shipping costs will be added.
How to make Pâte de Fruits
Line a baking mold of 20x20cm with waxed paper
Puree the raspberries in a foodprcessor and sift it.
Put the puree into a pan with the sugar and pectine.
Heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 110°C.
Pour the mixture in a 20x20cm baking mold and let it set.
Measure the exact temperature with a candy thermometer, because at this point the fruit mixture should already be thick
Cut out hearts and blocks and roll them throughthe caster sugar.
Place the Pâte de Fruits on a platter or pack them into pretty boxes.
Happy Valentine's Day, wishing you a lot of love!
