Food Blogging Jealousy

I saw a posting about Fruit Gelees I love this sweet candy so, I thought I would give them a try. I first saw the recipe and got the idea on www.sugarplumsweets.blogspot.com Thanks Emiline I loved making them and will try it again with another fruit.

This time I made Blueberry Fruit Gelees
Step one: add 4 1/4 ounce unflavored gelatin let sit in cold water for four minutes to soften. Heat Gelatin over medium/low heat stirring until dissolved.
Step Two: Add 2 cups sugar stir until dissolved. Then add 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
Step Three: Bring to a boil medium/low watching that it does not boil over. Boil for about 13 minutes. Then remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes Skim any white foam that remains on top. After stir in 3/4 cup fruit puree. I made a blueberry fruit puree. I used frozen berries and a couple tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Stir all together.
Step Four: Pour mixture into a 8 inch square nonstick baking pan. I also used parchment paper on the bottom of pan and sprayed with a little Pam.
Step Five: Let rest at room temperature for at least 12 hours I let mine sit up overnight and into the morning.
Step Six: Use a sharp knife to loosen from sides of pan. Then pull up on the paper to release from pan. Turn over onto wax paper. Cut into small squares. Right before serving coat with sugar and serve. The unsugared candies can be stored in a air tight container at room temperature for 2 weeks. Sugar before serving.
