 Make Your Own Gumdrops
by Lisa Hawkins
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 Cups Applesauce
- 2 Envelopes Unflavored Gelatin
- 1 6oz. Package fruit flavored gelatin
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 1 Tsp. Bottled Lemon Juice
- Sugar
- Combine the applesauce, the unflavored gelatin,
flavored gelatin, sugar, lemon juice in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and boil for for one minute,
stirring frequently.
- Fill the loaf pan up with cold water and then
pour out the water. Immediately pour the gelatin mixture into the wet pan.
- Allow the loaf pan to cool for 10 minutes and
then put it into the refrigerator for about 3 hours, or until the gelatin is
firm.
- Cut the candy into squares.
- Remove the squares and place them onto a
ungreased cookie sheet.
- Allow to dry for at least 8 hours.
- After the candy has dried, pour some sugar into
a bowl and roll the candy pieces in the sugar.
Tips:
When cutting the candy, dip the knife into warm water to avoid the candy from
sticking.
Try making 3 - 4 flavors, place them in a tin (separated by wax paper), and give
the candy as a gift.
Enjoy!
Just a note: I made these
again yesterday with the kids and remembered something. When you try to get
these out of the loaf pan, turn the pan upside down and lay a warm, wet towel on
the pan. This will "melt" the sugar just a bit and the gumdrops will come right
out.
