Mommy, I want those! This is what I hear when I take my children to the grocery store. Gummies are one of my children's favorite foods! Who knows what are in those gummies that our children love SO much and have to have right then and there? Here is your first step to becoming homemade! Not only is this a great way to spend more time with our children but educational for them too! Take 20 minutes and make some gummies.
Supplies needed
Double boiler/ Sauce pan and Pyrex measuring cup
about 3 candy molds
Rubber spatula
Ingredients
3oz box of jello- small box
1/2 cup of juice- fresh squeezed or store bought- citrus seems to reduce the jello flavor from the gummies
3 packages of gelatin- one box has 4 packages
Extract- I use the flavor of the jello (optional)
Directions
Put the jello, juice, gelatin in the Pyrex measuring cup or double boiler.
Put enough water in the sauce pan to surround the gummy mixture that is in the Pyrex measuring cup.
Turn the eye of your stove on about medium and continue to stir until the mixture is completely dissolved. It will look like a thick kool-aid. Add the extract at this point, add a few drops and taste. When this reaches the taste you are happy with, start to pour in the candy molds.
When the candy molds are full place them in your freezer for about 10 minutes to firm completely and then of course test taste before your children because once seen there will be no more left. You can put powder sugar or corn starch on them to keep them from sticking to each other but the gummies I make don't last long enough to worry about adding more ingredients.
