Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
3 cups unsweetened apple or apricot juice
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon and lime juice -- or more as needed
2/3 cup cornstarch
2 cups walnuts -- chopped
1 cup powdered sugar

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).
