How To Make homemade gumdrops
-
1Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Place in refrigerator. Combine 2 cups sugar, applesauce, red OR green gelatin, unflavored gelatin and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Let stand for 1 minute. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute and then immediately pour into cold baking dish. Refrigerate until firm {about three hours should do it. I left mine in overnight.} Loosen the sides of the gelatin with a spatula and invert onto cutting board or waxed paper. You can see how firm it is here: Use small, sharp cookie cutters to cut out gumdrops. It helps to dip the cutters into hot water first. Sprinkle sugar over a piece of waxed paper and place gumdrops on top of sugar. Let dry for about 8 hours or until slightly sticky. Roll in remaining sugar and store in an airtight container.
