Pate de fruit

Stumbled upon the food blog Cannelle et Vanille today. Beautiful. I don't even know what pate de fruit is, but I want some. Looks a bit like Turkish Delight.

I have some new Tahitian vanilla beans that are begging for attention. Last summer I was a bit obsessed by combining vanilla and tomatoes. Oh yes, that was the summer of making homemade tomato paste. Six pounds of tomatoes reduced to a tiny dollop of paste. As it turns out, that tomato paste is actually considered healthier than the summer tomato itself. Rather disconcerting.
