Homemade Gumdrops Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
Combine juices: In a medium saucepan, combine the fruit juice and lemon juice. Add the granulated sugar and salt. Stir to dissolve.
Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat: Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is heated through and the gelatin is fully dissolved. Avoid boiling.
Step 2: Set the Gumdrops
Pour into a mold: Once the mixture is smooth, pour it into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or silicone molds.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
Step 3: Cut and Coat
Cut the gumdrops: Once set, remove the gumdrop mixture from the dish and cut it into small squares or use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Coat with sugar: In a shallow dish, add the granulated sugar. Roll each gumdrop in the sugar until well coated. Shake off any excess.
Step 4: Store
Enjoy: Store the gumdrops in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for several weeks!
