Beet Pâte de Fruit (Beet Gummy Candy)
A vegetable treat — wow your guests with your skill! Beet candy? Yes, really! Intriguing, delicious, and beautiful. You can make it any time of year, but it's especially welcome in fall and winter, when fresh fruit is scarce and this candy is sure to delight everyone who tries it. You'll need a candy thermometer — temperature is crucial here. Pull it off before it reaches 226°F (108°C) and the candy won't set; cook it too far and it turns rock-hard. Either way, it's best to follow the rules.

- First make the beet juice. Wash and peel the beets, then cut them into small pieces — the shape doesn't matter. 2. Fill the food processor bowl halfway with beets and add water — about 60–80 ml, no more. Blend. 3. Strain the purée through a fine sieve; you can line the sieve with cheesecloth too, but it's not essential. 4. Do the same with the rest of the beets. You want 1 liter 750 ml of juice. Pour the juice into a pot, set it over the heat, and reduce it down to 700 ml. 5. Line a baking pan with high sides (at least 1/2 inch / 1.5 cm) with wax paper — any deep-sided mold works, not just a baking pan. Combine a couple of tablespoons of the sugar with the pectin. Sprinkle this into the beet juice, whisking vigorously. 6. Add the rest of the sugar to the juice along with the glucose. Return the pot to the heat and, stirring continuously, bring the mixture to 226°F (108°C). Watch the temperature carefully. 7. As soon as it reaches 226°F (108°C), add the tartaric acid and stir thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. 8. Once the candy has set, cut it into cubes — or use cookie cutters for prettier shapes. Roll each piece in sugar or powdered sugar, to taste. Serve and enjoy!
