Fruit Juice Jello Candy Gummy Snack Food

FRUIT JUICE JELLO CANDY GUMMY SNACK

Steps:

• Mix together grape juice, Gelatine, and honey in a sauce pan over medium-low heat.
• Stir until Gelatine is completely dissolved.
• Place the gummy bear molds on a flat surface, and then using a dropper or baster (which comes with the mold), add the mixture to the molds. Slowly fill each cup to the top.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Make sure they're firm before you unmold them.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.

HOMEMADE FRUIT SNACKS {JELLO}

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, add water (no heat yet).
• Sprinkle Jello Packet and Gelatin Packet over the water. Give the gelatin a minute to bloom in the water. It is normal for it to look like applesauce when it's ready - that's what you want.
• Turn on the heat to medium high and stir continuously until the mixture doesn't look like applesauce anymore. Just heat through until everything is dissolved and the mixture isn't gritty. Do not boil!
• Use a liquid dropper to fill your molds one by one. This goes quickly with a dropper. It definitely works best if the fruit snacks can harden individually and aren't connected by extra mixture.
• Let mold chill about an hour in the fridge, then pop out of the molds.
• Fruit snacks last for a week in an airtight container, in or out of the fridge.
• * JUICE SUBSTITUTION DIRECTIONS: The directions are mostly the same as when using Jello, but instead of water in step one, mix the juice and sweetener in the pot before adding TWO gelatin packets in step 2. All other steps are the same.
• ** CAN DOUBLE: You can double this recipe if you'd like to make more, but I like working in small amounts at a time, because the mixture starts to harden pretty quickly. Also, smaller batches make it easier to create more flavors.

FRUIT GUMMY CANDIES

Steps:

• Prepare a 6-inch inch pan by wetting it lightly with water.
• Place the gelatin in 4 tbsp of water to soften for about 5 minutes.
• Place the juice, sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Stir in the gelatin and continue stirring until gelatin dissolves.
• At this point add food coloring if desired.
• Pour into prepared pan and leave until completely set.
• When set, turn out of pan and cut with a sharp knife or cookie cutter into desired shapes.
• Jellies can be rolled in superfine sugar, if desired, or served plain.
