The recipe for these tangy pates de fruits is based on our Original Cranberry Jelly Candies that started our company in 1962, but these have quite a bit more pucker power. Most sour candies are artificially flavored and colored concoctions that are developed for kids. Instead, we use premium fruit juices and fruit acids to make a naturally flavored acid-forward candy that's balanced for a more adult palate. In other words, our candies make you pucker, but your tongue won't burn after you eat them. Like our other pates de fruits, each batch takes weeks from start to finish due to our secret reduction process which intensifies the flavor and produces the perfect texture. All are gluten free, fat free, naturally flavored and vegan friendly, made with no animal products.
