Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Cover a Cookie tray or any tray big enough with parchment paper.
  2. Combine 2 cups sugar, applesauce, jelly, unflavored gelatin and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Let stand for 1 minute.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
  4. Boil for 1 minute and then immediately pour onto the tray.
  5. Refrigerate until firm, about three hours should do it. But I left mine in overnight.
  6. Loosen the sides of the gelatin with a spatula and invert onto cutting board or more parchment paper.
  7. Use small, sharp cookie cutters to cut out gumdrops. I used teddy bear shapes. It helps to dip the cutters into hot water first.
  8. Sprinkle sugar over a piece of waxed paper and place gumdrops on top of sugar.
  9. Let dry for about 8 hours or until slightly sticky.
  10. Roll in remaining sugar and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Store In a airtight container for one week.
Wrap each one in a clear baggy tied with some ribbon as a nice little gift.
