How to make a flavor less "candy-ish"?

[RaRvn]

I'm doing fairly well mixing single flavors (yay me!), but I'm wondering how to make the flavor less candy-ish. I'm using Flavor Arts - black cherry, blackberry, etc and they are very nice but I'd prefer a bit less of a candy taste and more of a fruit taste. Is there something I can add to make that happen?

Thanks!

sweet and sour is used by many but add lightly and slowly. IMHO

Thank you. From where would I purchase "sweet and sour"? Does FA make that? I appreciate the help!

Thank you. I found something called "Tart and Sour" but didn't see "Sweet and Sour". Is it the Tart and Sour that I want?

Tart and sour will brighten the flavor at low % and give a jolly rancher effect as you increase %. It will not change a candy flavor into a fruit flavor. If the flavoring is candyish you can't change it, best bet is try a different brand.

I too have been testing out FA fruit flavors. I may be honing in some decent percentages. I'm curious what percentage is giving you this candy-ish flavor?
