Wild Pear Part 2: Wild Pear Jelly Fruits

I used "Pam the Jam"'s alternative to Pear Cheese to make what she calls fruit pastilles. I was expecting a sort of hard sweet, like cough candies, but these turned out like fruit jellies. I was not disappointed by this outcome - I love fruit jellies - but when I make them again I'll use a deeper baking tray and cut out shapes. I think they would make nice seasonal gifts.
