Ingredients
Scale
Plum Candied Fruit Gelée:
- 3 Pounds Ripe Plums
- 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- Juice Of 1 Lemon
- 8 Gelatin Leaves

Instructions
- Line the Pan: Line a 7 X 11 inch cake pan with plastic wrap and set aside.
- Prepare Plums: Wash and dry the plums, cut into half, remove the pit, and coarsely chop.
- Soften Gelatin: Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water to soften.
- Cook Plum Mixture: Cook the plums with the sugar and lemon over medium-high heat, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes or until the plums have broken down and thickened. Mixture should reach above 200 degrees.
- Blend Mixture: Use an immersion blender to blend in any remaining pieces of skin. Continue to cook until thick and jam-like, about 10 more minutes.
- Add Gelatin: Discard the water the gelatin was in, add the softened gelatin sheets to the fruit, and stir well to blend smoothly.
- Set Gelée: Pour the thickened mixture immediately into your pan and allow to cool for a few hours in the refrigerator.
- Cut and Coat: Once the candy has cooled, cut it into 1 to 1 1/2 inch squares. Roll each square in sugar and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
