Prepackaged fruit purees

[aidensnd2]

This is driving me nuts. What is the other major brand of fruit purees? The one I'm thinking of has packaging similar to Boiron, rectangular but not quite as long. Anyone? Any help would be great.

garnier purees and rogelfrut are far better than boiron.

You might be thinking of Cap'Fruit, purees from France.

I've heard those purees are the best (Garnier & Rogelfruit), but I don't believe they're available in the US yet.

Goya has frozen fruit purees (tropical fruits, mostly) readily available at many supermarkets and Latin American Markets. Cheap, too!

I think your thinking of Cap'Fruit, but another good brand is Perfect Puree.

I just bought a bunch of Goyas. $1.79 for 14 oz, fruit only, no sugar. I got mango, blackberry, tamarind, guanabana, strawberry, passionfruit, and a couple of others. I want to experinemt with marshmallows, and I am going to try my hand at pates de fruit. I will post aobut how tey come out. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I made passion fruit marshmallows and they were quite delicious. I used Boiron as that was all I can get at that moment. My Valrhona rep sells Napa Valley so I am eager to buy some from him. I want to do a green apple marshmallow for my kids!

I was recently handed a catalog for Bithell Farms out of Oregon for their frozen fruit. Supposed to be great fruit. I'm not really interested in their whole fruit but their purees caught my eye since its not marketed to pastry shops and I thought it might be a good deal. Delivered to my door in 14# buckets:

Marion blackberriesk, Boysenberries, Strawberries or Loganberries - $37 ($2.64/lb)

Raspberries - $49 ($3.50/lb)

Prices change based on where you are, and they don't deliver everywhere. I'm going to check against my prices from Qzina in the morning.

Caraman - Albert Uster just started carrying this brand. The containers aren't too sturdy, though. The corners are susceptible to breaking/cracking in shipping.

The Goya passionfruit works wonderfully in both marshmallows and pate de fruit. I tried the strawberry in marshmallows, but it seemed awfully watery to me - and the flavor just wasn't there. I'd just as soon run any kind of frozen berry through my Champion juicer to get puree - it's so much better than the Goya.

I have used Goya mango, blackberry, guanabana, strawberry, passion fruit, and guava purees to make pate de fruit. Just follow the Boiron recipes and they come out quite excellent. I especially like the guava pate de fruit.
