Don't worry, I'm not some mushy girl that wants romance or grand gestures. I just think that Valentine's Day is a great day to show your appreciation for someone you care about - not just your significant other, but your close friends and family. Here are some goodies I made this year...they're great to share. With that said, sorry if you didn't get any - I actually made these for work!
Heart Shaped Raspberry Pate de Fruit
- 1000 g Raspberry Puree
- 330 g Apple Juice
- pinch Citric Acid
- 133 g Sugar
- 26 g Apple Pectin
- 1250 g Sugar
- 260 g Liquid Glucose (Corn Syrup can be substituted for home use)
1. Bring puree and apple juice to a boil
2. In a bowl, combine citric acid, 133 g sugar and apple pectin - whisk into boiling puree/juice mix
3. Bring mixture back to a boil and whisk in remaining sugar and glucose
4. Cook to 107 Celcius
5. Pour into a silpat-lined half sheet pan (It may not look like much, but this recipe will yield A LOT)
6. Allow to set at least 4 hours, preferably overnight
7. Cut with small heart-shaped cutters or into desired shape
8. Toss in sugar to prevent them from sticking
