This was my first attempt at modifying Kirsten Tibbals’ recipe for Passionfruit Pâté de Fruit using the Lotus brand of Citrus Pectin. And… first time lucky, apparently, because this really worked. It’s nothing like my old pectin jellies, but it’s…
Yes, I went to the Ruby Chocolate demo, and yes, I pre-ordered a big bag of ruby chocolate, so there are probably going to be a few ruby chocolate recipes on this blog in the near future. For those unfamiliar…
