Steps:
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup water to soften; set aside.
- Put the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cherry-flavored gelatin to the pan, followed by the softened unflavored gelatin. Stir and remove from the heat. Continue stirring until the gelatins are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain into a measuring cup and let cool for 5 minutes; it will be warm but not yet set. Pour the liquid into the molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the gumdrops from the molds and place onto wax paper. Coat some in granulated red sugar, some in granulated white sugar and some in coarse white sugar; return to the wax paper. Store in a cool dry place until ready to eat.
Tips:
- Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of your sugar mixture. This will ensure that your gumdrops are cooked to the correct consistency.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the consistency of your sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the mixture forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is ready.
- Add the flavoring and food coloring of your choice to the sugar mixture after it has been cooked to the correct temperature.
- Pour the sugar mixture into a prepared pan and allow it to cool and set completely. This may take several hours or overnight.
- Once the gumdrops have set, cut them into desired shapes and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Homemade gumdrops are a delicious and fun treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a little time and effort, you can create a batch of gumdrops that are sure to impress your friends and family.
