Uses of Fruit Pearls


If you are wondering what fruit pearls are, well they are made from pure fruit pulp and fruit juice (not concentrated) and does not contain any artificial coloring. (Except for dark cherry and prunes which add caramel flavor). They carmalize when cooked and do not spill out of pastries.

 Below are some possible uses for our ALPIready Fruit Pearls. If you can think of other uses please let us know!

-          BROWNIE (especially with pineapple, pear, berry and orange pearls)
-          MUFFIN
-          COOKIES
-          PANCAKE
-          PLUMCAKE
-          CUPCAKE (in the dough)
-          SPONGE CAKE (in the dough)
-          SWEET BREADS / BRAIDS / BRIOCHE BREAD
-          SWEET SANDWICH LOAF (MILK OR SIMILAR)
-          NON-FOLDED CROISSANTS / BRIOCHES
-          SOFT CAKES (CHOCOLATE / YOGURT / MARGHERITA / ETC.)
-          PANFRUTTO (FRUIT BREAD – SOFT CAKE IN LOAF PANS WITH FRUIT INSIDE)
-          PANETTONE
-          SICILIAN CANNOLI CREAM (instead of candid fruits and/or chocolate chips)

Useless to say, except for the Sicilian cannoli cream, fruit pearls need at least a quick baking.

Useless as well, we have a variety of mixes for all the above pastries and sweets (except for brownie).

Welcome to IPF Imports

Welcome to our blog. A little about us. We import bakery and confectionery products from Italy. We are a fairly new company and import from Italy all natural bread mixes, pastry mixes, fillings, creams, canolis, jams and pearls just to name a few things.

Our company represents first and foremost quality. We only want the best because that is what everyone expects, right? Thinking about it you want the best product, reasonably priced, that is natural and no artificial ingredients and as the title says...delightful to taste. That is what we stand for and don't expect anything less.

We would like to hear what you want. If you were to have items brought in from Italy what would be your top choices? What is most important to you. We want to bring to you what you want and deserve so would appreciate feedback because we aim to please.

Spread the word! We want you and your opinions because the consumer is who matters.
And if there are any bakeries or distributors...think about what you customers want and tell us.

Again...welcome to our blog and hope to answer any questions and help you by helping us.
Come back again soon! We will update often with recipes, information and polls submitted by you the readers!
