Chris and Lin ter Horst

Maui Fruit Jewels, a gourmet fruit candy company in Happy Valley, was a winner in the Preserves category for the 2018 Good Food Awards last month.

Owners Chris and Lin ter Horst were among 199 winners in the competition for its passion fruit paste. The annual awards ceremony welcomed more than 2,000 entries from 34 states and recognizes American food and drink crafters who “demonstrate a commitment to creating tasty, authentic and responsible products,” according to an announcement.

Founded in 2012, the business is known for its small, square-shaped candies that are a spin on the popular French confection “pates de fruits.” The company sells an assortment of fruit jellies, candies and pastes.
