Ingredients:
– 2 cups fruit juice (grape, orange, or apple)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for gumdrop mixture)
– 3 cups granulated sugar (for coating)
– 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional: Food coloring
Directions:
1. Grab a medium saucepan and mix together your favorite fruit juice with a splash of fresh lemon juice. Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring until everything is beautifully combined.
2. Now, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the juice mixture and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. It’s like giving the gelatin a little spa treatment!
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is warmed through and the gelatin has fully dissolved. Remember, no boiling—this is a gentle process.
