Gluten Free Homemade Gummy Bears
Total time
- 2½ cups sugar, divided
- 1½ cups Apple Sauce
- 1 pack of jelly. I used Hartley's Orange flavour, Use 2 packs of flavoured gelatin if using.
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Cover a Cookie tray or any tray big enough with parchment paper.
- Combine 2 cups sugar, applesauce, jelly, unflavored gelatin and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Let stand for 1 minute.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
- Boil for 1 minute and then immediately pour onto the tray.
- Refrigerate until firm, about three hours should do it. But I left mine in overnight.
- Loosen the sides of the gelatin with a spatula and invert onto cutting board or more parchment paper.
- Use small, sharp cookie cutters to cut out gumdrops. I used teddy bear shapes. It helps to dip the cutters into hot water first.
- Sprinkle sugar over a piece of waxed paper and place gumdrops on top of sugar.
- Let dry for about 8 hours or until slightly sticky.
- Roll in remaining sugar and store in an airtight container.
Store In a airtight container for one week.
Wrap each one in a clear baggy tied with some ribbon as a nice little gift.
