Peach & Mezcal Pâte de Fruit ~ a collab with My Friend Fernando *final batch*
These sweeties come from the creative mind of chef Jacob Croom from My Friend Fernando — a local Bay Area chef serving beautifully plated and delicious food inspired by his Mexican and Greek heritage. These pâte de fruits are probably the most intensely flavored I've ever made as they hit all your tastebuds, they are sweet and smoky ending with a little bit of spice and sour notes due to rolling each sweetie in a cane sugar mix of Ancho chile and black lime.
᯽ Organic Yellow Peaches from Blossom Bluff Orchards, Parlier, CA
᯽ Mezcal Legendario Domingo Cenizo from Tahona Mercado, SF, CA
᯽ Black Lime & Ancho Chile from Oaktown Spice, Oakland, CA
✿ Handmade in small batches by me, Yamina, in Oakland, CA.
✿ Without flavorings or colorants, we only use organic whole fruit from sunny California!

vegan-friendly | 10 pieces per bag | 3 oz | 85 gr
or
minis! ~ 45 gr
minis is the result of the pate de fruit setting in the funnel too quickly, meaning I was not able to pour them in the molds so I chopped it into random pieces...they may be ugly but they are still yummy!
Check to the last 2 pics to know how they look :)

Fresh Organic and local fruit
Most brands use frozen fruit purees that come from France, we take pride in using only organic fruit from local farms in California —the majority of them being located in less than a 100 mile radius from Oakland, celebrating the true slow food spirit!
True vegan-friendly
Some brands add animal gelatine and most use white sugar —which is refined with bone char—, we only use apple pectin and organic cane sugar.
We keep it simple
Our pâte de fruits don’t have any preservatives, colorants or flavorings (natural or artificial), their vibrants colors and intense flavors come solely from organic fruit from sunny California!
Less sugar
Traditional recipes contain more sugar than ours, we respect the French tradition by using the same method, but —with a lot of testing— we’ve reduced the amount of sugar to just enough for these fruit jellies to set, letting the fruit shine.
Packed with fruit
Our pâte de fruits could also be call “candy of nature” because they are packed with fruit, containing up to 70% in each sweetie!
Local ingredients
We firmly believe buying local not only supports local producers (aiding in the local economy), it is also more earth friendly by emitting less carbon emissions through transportation —that’s why we only use organic fruit from California farms and spirits from local distilleries in the Bay Area. For other ingredients that are harvested abroad, like tea, we make sure they are Fairtrade and Organic.
