     Title: Aplets and Cotlets
Categories: Candies
     Yield: 64 servings

     3 tb Gelatin
     3 c  Apple juice or unsweetened
          -apricot juice
 1 1/3 c  Granulated sugar
     2 tb Each lemon and lime juice,
          -or more as needed
   2/3 c  Cornstarch
     2 c  Walnuts, chopped
     1 c  Powdered sugar

 Makes about 64 small cubes

 Soften the gelatin in 1/2 cup of the apple juice.  Boil remaining
 juice with the sugar for 15 minutes to concentrate it.  Mix the lemon
 and lime juice, and add all but 1/4 cup cornstarch to dissolve it in
 the mixture. Add both gelatin mixture and cornstarch mixture to the
 boiled juice and boil again rapidly for 10 minutes until very thick,
 stirring constantly. Taste for sweet and sour and add more lemon
 juice if wanted.

 Mix in the walnuts and pour mixture into a 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking
 pan that has been dipped in cold water.  Let paste harden 12 hours or
 overnight, then cut with a sharp knife into squares. Mix together the
 reserved 1/4 cup cornstarch and powdered sugar. Remove squares with a
 spatula and roll each in the powdered sugar mixture (the cornstarch
 helps keep the sugar dry).
