Gummy Bear Recipe With Tincture Food

HARIBO GOLD-BEARS GUMMY CANDY HACK

Steps:

• Combine Jell-O, unflavored gelatin and citric acid in a medium microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine.
• Add the corn syrup and water, and stir gently with a soup spoon until all of the ingredients are blended together. Stirring too fast may add air bubbles to the mixture, so keep it slow and sweeping. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so that the gelatin can bloom.
• Stir the candy syrup gently again, then microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Stir it again, then zap it for another 15 seconds. Repeat heating it for 15 seconds 3 more times for a total heating time of 1 1/2 minutes. If air bubbles begin to form on the surface of the gelatin, stop heating and stir gently. You don't want any bubbles in the syrup if you can help it. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Give the solution a gentle stir every couple of minutes and you should see it become clearer over time.
• Spray the bear molds lightly with oil spray.
• Pour the candy syrup into a measuring cup with a spout, then carefully pour the liquid into the bear molds. Don't fill each bear all of the way to the top. Leave a little room in each mold.
• Let the candy sit for 30 minutes, then put the molds into your refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
• When the candy is firm push each piece out of the molds and arrange them on a baking sheet or in a large storage container so that they are each standing upright. Let them sit this way for 48 hours, then lay them on their backs for 24 hours. This process will help the bears dehydrate so that they are chewy like the originals. Depending on your climate, your gummy bears may have shrunken enough after 72 hours. If not, leave them out for another day or two, until they are chewy. Toss them around every so often as they dry out. When they are chewy enough for you, seal them up in an air-tight covered container or zip-top bag. Keep them stored in a sealed container and they should last for a couple weeks.

CANNABIS GUMMIES MADE WITH TINCTURE OR FECO/RSO

Steps:

• If you haven't already, evaporate the alcohol from your cannabis tincture. Directions below, if needed. While doing this, gather your equipment and measure out your ingredients. Place your gummy molds on baking trays, so they don't flop when being moved.
• In a small bowl, add ½ cup of water or juice. Stir the unflavored gelatin into the liquid. This is called blooming the gelatin. The mixture will become very thick. Set aside.
• Next, prepare a double boiler by putting one cup of water in the bottom pan over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and let simmer.
• Add the reduced tincture, prepared FECO/RSO, or other concentrate and the lecithin (if using) to the top of the double boiler. Allow the mixture to warm slightly. Turn off the heat while working on the next step.
• In a separate small saucepan on the stove, add the remaining ½ cup of water or juice. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, add the lemon juice or mold inhibitor and the Jello packet to the hot liquid. Whisk well to dissolve. Turn off the heat.
• Carefully and slowly pour the jello mix into the double boiler with the reduced tincture/FECO and lecithin. Whisk consistently until all ingredients are incorporated.
• Take the reserved bowl of bloomed gelatin and add it to the double boiler.
• Add your desired amount for flavoring oil drops.
• Whisk vigirously for 3-5 minutes. You can use an immersion blender to speed up the process if desired.
• Working quickly, using a squeeze bottle, pipette or piston funnel, add the gummy mixture to your gummy molds of choice.
• Allow the filled molds to sit and set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator before attempting to remove the gummies from the molds.
• Carefully remove the gummies from the molds. Decide whether you want to store them in the fridge immediately or allow them to air dry.
• If air drying, place the gummies in a single later on a wire baking rack. Allow the gummies to dry at room temperature for 24-72 hours, depending on your texture preferences. *See air drying notes below.
• If you plan to add sugar or citric acid to your gummies, do so after they have been fully air dried. Do not try to do this immediately after they come out of the molds, they will melt.
• Store in an airtight container and enjoy!

HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Combine the fruit juice or lemonade, gelatin and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, about 1 minute (make sure there is no undissolved sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan). If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup.
• Put the gummy bear molds on a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until the mixture sets, about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
