Time 4h25m

Yield 75 gumdrops

Number Of Ingredients 5

Two 1/4-ounce envelopes unflavored gelatin
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for coating
One 3-ounce package cherry-flavored gelatin
Granulated red sugar, for coating
Coarse white sugar, for coating

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.
