i am developing a honeybell pate de fruit (type of tangerine). i used a boiron recipe for orange pate de fruit, but it was too sweet. Could I use less sugar but the same amount of pectin? Also can i add zest & a lil juice at the end to punch it up?

If you want to intensify the flavor, I would add orange essential oil. Just a drop or two should do ya.
