Jello Gummies (Easy)

Idea  is based on a video from You Tube on how to make Jello Gummies

Ingredients:

½ cup very cold water (slightly less)

¼ cup corn syrup

2 Packets Unflavored Gelatin

1 (3oz.) package flavored gelatin

¼ teaspoon Citric Acid (to make a sour flavor) - Optional
1 or 2 drops loran flavoring oil (of the same flavor Jello you have chosen)

You will need a measuring cup, silicone ice molds, candy molds, or any heat resistant mold, and a tall glass drinking glass, a silicone or rubber spatula, a small saucepan, a condiment dispenser bottle, a pastry brush and some vegetable oil.

Prepare molds by lightly brushing them with vegetable oil.

Measure cold  water and corn syrup in a measuring cup and mix well, until it is clear.  Add to a small sauce pan.  Open packets of unflavored gelatin and mix until gelatin has completely dissolved.  Add flavored gelatin and mix until Jello is dissolved.  Add citric acid, if desired. Mix until all is dissolved.

Turn on your range to medium low.  Put saucepan on burner and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every so often.  Your mixture should reach a low boil.

Transfer liquid into a tall cup and let sit for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, use a spatula and remove the foam from the top of the mixture.  Pour clean mixture into a condiment tube and carefully pour into your prepared molds.  Let sit for 6 hours.  Remove from molds.  Enjoy.  Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
