Day 5 / Mango Pate de fruit
Great day today! The liquid pectin, Agar powder and citric acid all arrived!
So as soon as I got home from work, the apron went on and I began to make those Mango jellied candies that I have been writing about for the last two days. I suppose I should call them by their formal name “Pate de fruit”. They were quite easy to make just pureed mangos, sugar, that elusive liquid pectin and lemon juice. Bring all to a boil until 238F, (I am still getting 2 different temp readings from my thermometers – need to make a trip to Surlatable and have a chat with someone) and pour into a pan, and sprinkle sugar on top! The only problem was I shouldn’t have hesitated in pouring it into the pan as I did since it thickened quite quickly. So the top isn’t smooth as glass like its supposed to be. Other than that there great I think, but I will bring some to work to get my daily feedback. The taste and texture remind me of a squishy mango sweet tart with a crunchy sugared coating. I think next time I will try two different flavors and layer them, and if I feel adventurous that day I will dip them in tempered chocolate (Photos and video to follow).

As beautiful as they taste. And…anything dipped in tempered chocolate will be that much yummier!

Hi, Wonderful pate de fruit you made. Could you please send me the recipe. And where I can by the liquid pectine? Is it the same as the yellow pectine ( powder).
Thank you!

Hi, I also would love to have the recipe! I live in Holland, I’m not sure but I think I only can buy the powder pectine here. Would that make a difference?
I found the video on youtube. It looks so yummy, I cannot wait to make them!
