pate de fruits

I've been staring at Elise's recipe for membrillo, quince paste to eat with sharp cheeses, since she posted it the other day. However, I can't find quince anywhere. Alex had the other Wholefoods order it for him, so eventually I'll get some, but until then I settled (happily) on making some pate de fruits, which are homemade gummy candy that is delicious. I searched around and found a few recipes, but this one was the easiest by far, and used pre-made jam instead of playing with pectin or using fruit that has pectin in it. I was feeling lazy and not up to cooking something for a long time and then testing and retesting the jell. I used this recipe, with my homemade spiced plum jam. They're great, and take about 5 minutes.
Pate de fruits
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2/3 c water
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 c jam, any flavor
sugar for coating

Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper, set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 c water. Set aside, let soften. Combine remaining water and sugar. Heat over med high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Let mixture come to a boil, then add jam and stir to dissolve completely. Add gelatin, stir until that dissolves, then boil 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan and chill 4 hours. Coat top with sugar, turn out onto wax paper, cut small squares and coat in sugar. Store in airtight container, separated by wax paper. Hide from your boyfriend.
