Makes about 64 small cubes
 3 Tbsp gelatin
 3 cups apple juice or unsweetened apricot juice
 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
 2 Tbsp lemon juice, or more as needed
 2 Tbsp lime juice, or more as needed
 2/3 cup cornstarch
 2 cups walnuts, chopped
 1 cup powdered sugar
 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).
