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).

There are a number of companies that make them now. You can
come across inexpensive packages at the warehouse stores
around the holidays.
