Usually we don’t cowl confectionery right here, but when there’s something I get pleasure from alongside a glass of dessert wine (particularly Sauternes) it’s pates de fruit — higher recognized maybe as fruit jellies. This field of jellies from Laguna Seaside-based Poeme contains three slabs of fruits, 15 items every, every in a unique taste: Morello cherry, Williams pear, and Corsican lemon.
These are fruit first, jellies second, every with greater than 60% fruit within the combine. You possibly can readily style it throughout the lineup, with seen items (nevertheless small) of recent fruit and, particularly, candied peels embedded within the pectin.
Of the three flavors, I used to be shocked to search out the pear expression to be my favourite. Pear isn’t my regular go-to taste for a lot of something, however right here it tastes so recent and genuine and wealthy that it’s arduous to not actually love — like biting right into a recent pear tart. It’s additionally notably nice with glowing wine. Morello cherry is shut behind — I can see spearing one among these onto a choose to make for probably the most decadent quaint garnish you’ve ever had. I wasn’t nevertheless utterly in love with the lemon expression; there’s an excessive amount of peel within the completed product, making it come throughout as a bit gritty.
The complete field weighs simply shy of a pound at 15 oz, and whereas $60 is pricy — that’s $1.33 per piece — that is positively a special day field (or a very nice present), and never one thing to casually munch on whereas watching Love Is Blind. I’m a fan.
