Assembly and information:

Basic recipe for 2 frames of 22 x 22 cm 500g of each fruit paste.
Using a guitar, cut out 2.2 cm cubes and roll them in the sugar and pass them through a sieve to remove the excess sugar.
Set aside on a rack, on a ladder, for at least 48 hours, so that the fruit jellies dry slightly.
Only after this drying time should you proceed with conditioning.
Store at room temperature for 8 to 10 weeks.
