Until today, the only "fruit jellies" I'd had were the ubiquitous citrus slices that pop up at Christmas. Fruit pâtés by Francois Doucet are something else altogether. I just ate a tiny bar of FD's raspberry pâté. Fine candy for a hot day: not overly sweet, the flavour somewhere between fresh raspberries and ones that have been cooked down. No wonder - it's 50% fruit. Il Negozio Nicastro also sells pear, apricot, and myrtille flavours.
