Provided by Elizabeth Marek

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons sorbitol
8 ounces corn syrup (glucose, honey or golden syrup can be subbed)
6 ounces cool water (fruit juice, wine or vodka can be subbed)
44 grams KNOX gelatin (about 6 packets)
2 teaspoons citric acid (leave out if you're using alcohol)
1 1/2 teaspoon candy flavoring (I used raspberry, strawberry and tropical punch)

Steps:

  • Combine gelatin, and water (or flavored liquid) in a heatproof container. Stir gently to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to give your gelatin time to bloom.
  • Combine together the corn syrup, sugar, and sorbitol in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Once simmering, wash down the sides of the pan with water using a clean pastry brush to make sure any stray grains of sugar is dissolved fully.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in your citric acid and gelatin mixture with a spatula until gelatin is melted.
  • Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and allow the mixture to clear and foam to collect at the top. After 10 minutes the foam should be able to be easily scooped off the surface with a spoon.
  • Divide your mixture by straining the liquid into three bowls and add in any coloring or candy flavorings that you want. I used pink, blue and yellow food coloring.
  • Spray your molds lightly with some oil and wipe out the excess. Pour your mixture into your molds.
  • Let your gummy bears chill in the fridge for 6 hours until the bears are set but 24 hours is best. Once they are set they can be stored at room temperature.

Categories     Candy

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ounces flavored gelatin
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup cold water
Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (for sour gummies)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Spray a paper towel with nonstick cooking spray , then rub it lightly around the bear cavities in the mold to coat them with a thin layer of oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine both gelatins and the cold water.
  • Whisk them together, then let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to soak up the water and soften.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds, then whisk well. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. The sugar should be dissolved and the mixture well mixed. If not, microwave for another 10 to 15 seconds until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Pour it into a measuring cup with a spout.
  • Pour the gelatin into the cavities. Alternatively, you can use a food-grade dropper to drop the mixture more precisely into the molds.
  • Place the candy mold in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the gelatin.
  • To remove the bears, carefully push the sides away from the edges and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds. Repeat with other colors and flavors of gelatin, as desired.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 100 gummy bears

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup fruit juice, such as cranberry, grape, orange or lemonade
2 tablespoons unflavored powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the fruit juice or lemonade, gelatin and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, about 1 minute (make sure there is no undissolved sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan). If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup.
  • Put the gummy bear molds on a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until the mixture sets, about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

GUMMY CANDIES

Forget store-bought gummies. These gummy candies are easy to make at home and can be customized to be any flavor or shape that you like.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Snack     Candy

Time 27m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin, 1.5 ounces total
1 3-ounce package flavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Prepare the candy molds by making sure they are clean and dry. Spray them with a very light coating of nonstick cooking spray. Place the molds on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the unflavored gelatin, flavored gelatin, and cold water in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk everything together until well combined and the gelatin has dissolved. Although you might feel tempted to mix vigorously, the less air you incorporate the better, so the gummies set without air bubbles.
  • Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Continue to whisk occasionally while the mixture heats up, and the gelatins melt and become liquid, about 4 minutes.
  • Once the gummy mixture is fully liquid, remove the pan from the heat and pour the gelatin into a measuring cup or a similar container with a spout.
  • Carefully fill each cavity of the mold with gelatin. Transfer the baking sheet with the candy molds to the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes so the gummy candies can fully set.
  • Once the candies are set, remove the gummies by carefully pushing the sides of the candy away from the edges of the mold and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds.

Tips:

  • Use the right molds: Silicone molds are the best choice for making gummies because they are flexible and easy to remove the gummies from.
  • Prepare your molds properly: Before you fill your molds with gummy mixture, lightly grease them with cooking spray or oil to prevent the gummies from sticking.
  • Don't overcook the gummies: Overcooked gummies will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are set and still slightly soft.
  • Let the gummies cool completely: Before you remove the gummies from the molds, let them cool completely at room temperature. This will help them to set properly.
  • Store the gummies properly: Store the gummies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

Conclusion:

Making gummies at home is a fun and easy project that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can create delicious and healthy gummies that are perfect for snacks, gifts, or party favors. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
