Time 45m

Yield 100 gummy bears

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup fruit juice, such as cranberry, grape, orange or lemonade
2 tablespoons unflavored powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons sugar

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.

Provided by Elizabeth Marek

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons sorbitol
8 ounces corn syrup (glucose, honey or golden syrup can be subbed)
6 ounces cool water (fruit juice, wine or vodka can be subbed)
44 grams KNOX gelatin (about 6 packets)
2 teaspoons citric acid (leave out if you're using alcohol)
1 1/2 teaspoon candy flavoring (I used raspberry, strawberry and tropical punch)

Steps:

  • Combine gelatin, and water (or flavored liquid) in a heatproof container. Stir gently to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to give your gelatin time to bloom.
  • Combine together the corn syrup, sugar, and sorbitol in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Once simmering, wash down the sides of the pan with water using a clean pastry brush to make sure any stray grains of sugar is dissolved fully.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in your citric acid and gelatin mixture with a spatula until gelatin is melted.
  • Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and allow the mixture to clear and foam to collect at the top. After 10 minutes the foam should be able to be easily scooped off the surface with a spoon.
  • Divide your mixture by straining the liquid into three bowls and add in any coloring or candy flavorings that you want. I used pink, blue and yellow food coloring.
  • Spray your molds lightly with some oil and wipe out the excess. Pour your mixture into your molds.
  • Let your gummy bears chill in the fridge for 6 hours until the bears are set but 24 hours is best. Once they are set they can be stored at room temperature.

It's easier than you think to make your own gummy bears at home. All you need is flavored and unflavored gelatin and water, as well as a bear mold.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Candy

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ounces flavored gelatin
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup cold water
Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (for sour gummies)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Spray a paper towel with nonstick cooking spray , then rub it lightly around the bear cavities in the mold to coat them with a thin layer of oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine both gelatins and the cold water.
  • Whisk them together, then let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to soak up the water and soften.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds, then whisk well. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. The sugar should be dissolved and the mixture well mixed. If not, microwave for another 10 to 15 seconds until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Pour it into a measuring cup with a spout.
  • Pour the gelatin into the cavities. Alternatively, you can use a food-grade dropper to drop the mixture more precisely into the molds.
  • Place the candy mold in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the gelatin.
  • To remove the bears, carefully push the sides away from the edges and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds. Repeat with other colors and flavors of gelatin, as desired.
  • Serve and enjoy.

ROSé GUMMY BEARS RECIPE BY TASTY



Rosé Gummy Bears Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: rosé, unflavored gelatin powder, sugar, pink food coloring, gummy bear mold

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Snacks

Yield 30 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups rosé, divided
⅓ cup unflavored gelatin powder, (about 5 .25-ounce envelopes)
1 cup sugar
1 drop pink food coloring, optional
gummy bear mold, optional

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup of rosé (240 ml) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and remaining rosé wine. Let sit for 5 minutes. The gelatin should give off a "blooming" effect, thickening the mixture.
  • Add the gelatin mixture to the saucepan with the concentrated rosé. Add the sugar and return the pan to medium-low heat, whisking continuously. Do not let the mixture boil. Cook until the gelatin is dissolved, about 5 minutes. The mixture should have a syrupy consistency, similar to maple syrup. Remove the pan from the heat. Add a drop of pink food coloring, if desired.
  • Use a squeeze bottle, spouted measuring cup, or dropper to distribute the mixture into the gummy bear molds. If you don't have a gummy bear mold, pour the mixture into a parchment-lined, 8-inch (20 cm), square baking pan.
  • Refrigerate for 90 minutes, or until set.
  • Carefully pop the bears out of the molds or, if using a baking pan, cut into small squares with a pizza cutter.
  • Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh fruits and juices will give your gummy bears the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the mixture: Overcooked gummy bears will be tough and chewy. Cook the mixture just until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer will help you ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature.
  • Work quickly: The gummy bear mixture will start to set quickly, so work quickly to pour it into the molds.
  • Be patient: It will take several hours for the gummy bears to completely set. Be patient and let them set completely before enjoying them.
