Tips

If you want to gift them, wrap them without rolling them in sugar. Since they lack preservatives and pectins like industrial candies, the sugar will dissolve upon contact with the candy surface, turning into liquid within a few hours. If this happens, dab them with paper towels and roll them again in granulated sugar.

Store the gelées in the refrigerator for 6/7 days, well-covered, and roll them in sugar just before serving.

As Dario Bressanini explains in his book, to solve this problem, industries use other ingredients, like NH pectin for pastries.
