Steps:
- To make watermelon juice:.
- Cut the watermelon in half using a serrated knife. Cut each half into semi-circle shaped slices about 2-inches thick. Cut away the green rind. Cut the red flesh into 2-inch cubes.
- Add the watermelon cubes to the jug of a blender. Blitz until smooth then pour through a metal strainer set over a large bowl.
- You will need 3/4 cup watermelon juice for these gummies. Reserve any excess watermelon juice for another use.
- To make gummy candies:.
- In a small bowl, place 1/2 cup of watermelon juice. Sprinkle over the gelatin powder and set aside to bloom.
- In a small pot, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of watermelon juice with the sugar over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved, and the juice is warm.
- Remove from the heat and immediately add in the bloomed gelatin mixture. Stir until the gelatin has melted in completely. Add the lemon juice and tequila and stir.
- Pour the mixture into silicone watermelon molds (these are commonly sold as ice cube molds online). Let set for 4-8 hours at room temperature to set. If leaving for longer than 8 hours, chill the gummies after they have set.
- Once set, carefully pop the gummies out of the watermelon molds and set on a large plate or lined baking sheet.
- To decorate:.
- Place the green candy melts in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan filled with 1-inch of water on a low heat on the stove. Stir occasionally, until the candies have melted, then remove from the heat. Repeat this with the dark chocolate chips in a separate bowl.
- Pour the melted green candy melts into a disposable piping bag. Snip off the very tip to make a small opening.
- Repeat this with the melted dark chocolate in a separate disposable piping bag.
- Pipe the green candy melts onto the outer curved edge of each gummy candy to represent the rind. Pipe small 'seeds' onto each gummy candy using the dark chocolate. Leave until the chocolate and candy melt decorations have set then serve.

SOUR WATERMELON JELL-O SHOTS IN A WATERMELON RIND
You've probably seen watermelon rinds filled with Jell-O; our version takes the idea a bit further. Here we use the watermelon juice from the scooped-out watermelon, spike it with a splash of vodka, and give it a sour flavor so it tastes just like your favorite candy. The result is an adult-friendly summer party pleaser.

Steps:
- Using a large chef's knife, cut the watermelon in half lengthwise through the stem. Trim a small portion from the underside of each half so it can sit on the work surface without wobbling. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Scoop out most of the flesh with a large spoon into a medium bowl, leaving about 1/8 inch of flesh above the white part of the rind (this will help the gelatin to adhere).
- Transfer the watermelon flesh and any juice from the bowl and rind to a blender and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a coffee filter). Discard the solids and reserve the juice; you should have about 5 cups total.
- Measure 3 cups of the juice into a medium saucepan (save any remaining juice for another use). Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk the watermelon-flavored and unflavored gelatin with the citric acid together in a large bowl, then whisk in the warm watermelon juice until all of the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vodka until combined. Pour the gelatin mixture into the hallowed-out watermelon halves. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until completely set, about 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Slice the watermelon in half lengthwise, then crosswise into small wedges. Serve chilled.
EXTREME SOUR GUMMIES
Pucker up for these sweet and sour gummies, which pack some serious punch thanks to a secret ingredient -- citric acid -- which you can buy online or at any specialty baking store. Just make sure to enjoy them immediately once you've tossed them in the sugar mixture or they will become sticky.

Yield 100 gummy bears
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Put two 50-count silicone gummy bear molds on a baking sheet and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
- Combine the flavored gelatin powder, unflavored gelatin powder, 1 tablespoon of the citric acid and 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so that the sugar does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.
- Pour the mixture into a small liquid measuring cup. With a spoon, skim off any bubbles that have formed. Carefully fill the molds and gently shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
- Combine the sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon citric acid in a medium bowl. Carefully remove the gummy bears from the molds and toss in the sugar mixture. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:
- Instructions Add the fresh watermelon to a blender and liquefy. Strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the pulp - you should have about 2 cups of juice. Skim the small amount of white foam from the top of the watermelon juice and discard. Divide the juice: add half to a small saucepan and the other half to a bowl. Add the grass fed gelatin to the juice in the bowl by sprinkling it over the surface. Let it sit for a few minutes so that it dissolves into the juice. It will solidify. Gently heat the watermelon juice in the saucepan just to warm it - do not bring it to a boil or simmer. Add the gelatin & juice mixture to the rest of the juice in the saucepan. Whisk or stir to combine until the liquid is smooth. Add the raw honey and lemon juice; whisk until dissolved and combined. Pour the gelatin mixture into molds or a refrigerator safe pan. Chill until set, about 30 minutes and then either remove the gelatin from the mold or slice it into pieces. Can be stored at room temperature, although they are great cold.
Tips:
- Use ripe watermelons: The riper the watermelon, the sweeter and more flavorful your gummies will be.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your gummies a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overcook the watermelon mixture: If you overcook the watermelon mixture, it will become too thick and syrupy. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but it should not be too thick.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer will help you ensure that the watermelon mixture reaches the correct temperature. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use a regular kitchen thermometer, but you'll need to be very careful not to overcook the mixture.
- Allow the gummies to cool completely: Before you cut and serve the gummies, allow them to cool completely. This will help them set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Sour watermelon gummies are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for summer. They're also a great way to use up leftover watermelon. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own sour watermelon gummies at home. So next time you have a watermelon on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
