Hi Barbara,

Enjoy the pate, they really are wonderful and easy. The green ones may have been pear or lime or apple?

Thanks, Zoë

Thank you so very much. I have been looking for a simple recipe for Pate de fruit for years. I used your process to make a mango/peach and a kiwi pineapple pate ( fruits I had lying around the house). oh… it was absolutely delicious. I purchased some fruit pates in NYC and almost needed a loan from a bank. My favorite were the green ones. Were they pear do you suppose???

Zoe–
your website is beautiful…another inspiration for me to get one going. I love to bake and loved working with you at Cooks of Crocus classes. Since then I have had a few prize winning pies!
My next venture is bread so I am going to get your new book.
Happy baking!

Hi Wynk,

Yes, they will weep slightly from the moisture and temperature change in the refrigerator. Just take a clean paper towel and wick the moisture off the top before you cut and coat them in sugar!

I bought mint and limes yesterday for a party I’m having tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration.

OK, I made a couple of batches last night, and although they were set and dry when I cut them, they are getting really watery now. Did you have this too?

Sweet lime and mint was a GREAT combination.

Yeah, the mint sounds great! Let me know how they turn out.

Thanks, Zoë

zoe, that is what I thought too! I found some sweet limes when I went to get blood oranges and Meyer lemons–I think I am going to make some with sweet lime and mint (sounds like a drink). We’ll see how it turns out.

Hi Amelia,

Funny you should ask, I’m about to do a post on them! Stay tuned and try out the pâte in the mean time.

Thanks! Zoë

Those look fabulous! I am going to have to give those a try . Like you, I am also a fan of french macaroons! Can you recommend any sources that have an authentic recipe? Those that I have found have been flavorless or gummy.
