Traditional Fruit Jelly Candies from Paris Caramels
Like candied fruit and jam, pâte de fruits were first created to preserve the bounty of a product that was only available for a short time. The hand-selected fruit is puréed and cooked briefly with sugar and just a bit of natural pectin to lock in the freshness and create a gorgeous jelly packed with concentrated fruit flavor. Once the jelly is set, it's cut into perfect squares and coated in coarse sugar.
We're not ones to make excuses around dessert…we think we've earned it. But if you need one, consider these numbers: a single black currant pates de fruits contains 58 black currants from Burgundy! When you sink your teeth into a square of apricot, you're eating one whole fresh apricot from the Drôme. And if it's raspberry, you're enjoying 8 fresh berries from Picardy.
While we love cakes, pies and ice cream, sometimes a plate of candies and cookies is our preferred way of ending a meal. Prepare a plate of caramels, pates de fruits, chocolates and a few toasted nuts to pass around the table. Your guests may pocket a few, but that's a small price to pay.
A nice treat
I ordered an item as a gift for someone’s birthday, and the item took much longer than anticipated/indicated to arrive, so I missed the birthday. When the order did arrive, it was an incorrect item, and not what I ordered. I immediately wrote to the seller to inform them of the error, and while they did respond, it took several days for them to do so. They have supposedly shipped a replacement, but it has, again, been several days and I have not received the item I ordered and paid for. Rey frustrated and disappointed.
Hi James,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that your order took longer than expected. We are an extremely small team (sometimes it's just one person packing all those orders and answering customer inquiries!). Because we are so small, we ask on our shipping information page that customers allow 3–4 business days for order processing. We also apologize for sending the wrong item. According to our records, it appears your correct item arrived today, June 7, after the original order was placed May 20. We apologize for the wait, but we appreciate your order and your patience with us!
Fresh good tasting
Every piece was fruity! Loved them.
It's delicious.
