fruit jellies

Soft pectin sweets

Fruit jellies are chewy candies made from fruit juice or flavoring, sugar, and a gelling agent like pectin.

They have a soft, slightly elastic texture—firmer than gummy candies but not as dense as gumdrops.

Often coated in granulated sugar to prevent sticking: a box of fruit jellies, orange and lemon fruit jellies.
