Marmelad Fruit Candies

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the pureed mixed fruits, sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir the mixture frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the fruits have slightly thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

2. While the fruit mixture is cooking, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Allow the gelatin to bloom for 5 minutes.

3. Once the fruit mixture reaches a gentle simmer and has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

4. Line a baking dish or silicone mold with parchment paper and carefully pour the fruit and gelatin mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.

5. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

6. Once the fruit mixture has set and is firm to the touch, remove it from the baking dish and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the mixture into small squares or desired shapes.

7. Store the Marmelad Fruit Candies in an airtight container with a dusting of sugar to prevent sticking. These candies can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
