Woman Gumdrop Delight (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 1/2 cups water
02 -
4 tablespoons gelatin powder
03 -
4 cups granulated sugar
04 -
1 cup chilled water
05 -
Vanilla or lemon flavoring
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with the cold water. Stir it well until it’s completely dissolved.
02 -
In a pot over medium heat, combine the water with the sugar. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes to avoid burning. Use a candy thermometer to heat the mixture to 230°F (softball stage).
03 -
Carefully add the gelatin mixture into the hot sugar syrup, stirring well to make sure they’re fully combined. Take it off the stove.
04 -
Separate the mixture into different containers, stir in food coloring for each, and pour into molds in fun shapes. Let it sit undisturbed to set.
05 -
Once the candy is fully set, gently pop the pieces out of the molds. Roll each one in sugar so they don’t stick together, and they’re ready to enjoy!
