Thanks luvcookbooks!! Now you know how I got those sugar-burn-blisters last weekend :-) Switching to a probe with a long cord to the read-out was oh-so-much easier (and safer).

Looks beautiful! I love cutting pates de fruit in little squares and rolling them in coarse sugar...maybe a rosemary flavored one?

Thanks gluttonforlife!!! I really appreciate it. I love the idea of rolling them in a rosemary flavored coarse sugar - that's a wonderful idea! I think I'll try that on my next batch!

Oh my goodness, I haven't made pate de fruit since I was in school, and I loved it! Thanks for bringing it back into my thoughts! This has food52 party written all over it.

Thanks so much boulangere!! We didn't make them in school, but my chef teacher made them at Christmas for gift for each of us and they were so good. Last weekend was my first run at it, but it took a number of tries to get where I wanted the flavor and consistency to be.

Seriously, CS, I'm going to serve these at my food52 party, and I love hla's idea of serving them with a sharp cheddar. I have some tiny leaf cutters that I think I'll use. Beautiful, so beautiful, and thank you again!

I would love to hear how they work for you. I've got people now asking for it and I'm going to make another batch over the weekend! In fact, I'm thinking of changing my plans about what I'm bringing to our Food52 party and bring these instead! Seriously, I would love to hear your thoughts on it! Thanks so much for everything!!!!

Hi CS! Your recipe is similar to the Cider jellies thirschfeld made last year (I make cranberry ones during the holidays), everybody loves them…and I be t the same would go with your recipe, here!!! Seriously…You could make some little cubes of Fruit Pate along with whatever you originally had planned? :) It could be a special bonus dish. Anyway that is what I would probably do, had to put in my 2cents, and have fun. Which potluck will you be attending?

That's a great idea lapadia! TasteFood is hosting a get together at her home next weekend and I'm thinking I'll also make some for a nice hostess gift for her in addition to bring some for the party!!

This sounds awesome, and I can just imagine how yummy it would be with a nice sharp cheddar or a nutty Manchego! Love!

Thanks HLA!! I took a little slab to a friend last night for him to taste. He called me this morning to ask me when he could get some more and to tell me I could sell them :-)

I love pate de fruits. The idea of serving with cheese is brilliant, i think.

Thanks Bevi!! Once I got this down, they were so easy to make too! They're great on their own, but I've really decided I prefer them with a little cheese.
