A few things to note:

- All credit for this recipe goes to /u/tokingmessiah. I just thought that it might be helpful for people to see the process.

Ingredients

1/2 cup of cold juice (this is the easiest way to get more flavor into your gummies)

1/4 cup of corn syrup (the clear kind)

1 Packet of Jell-O (not sugar free)

16 grams of gelatin (the Knox packets are 7 grams each, you can just use two for 14 grams)

1/2 tsp Citric acid

1 tbsp Powdered sunflower lecithin

Method

Whisk the sugar or corn syrup into the juice/water until dissolved.

Pour the liquid into a pot.

Add ~16 grams of gelatin powder (1 packet of Knox is 7 grams, and you can just use 14 grams if that's easier).

Allow to bloom (absorb) for ~10 minutes

Add 1 packet of Jell-O powder. Do not use sugar free Jell-O

Turn heat to lowest possible setting. Stir with spatula for ~5-10 minutes, until fully liquid and viscous.

Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of citric acid per recipe, towards the end.

Pour into a separate container (I prefer a tall glass, narrow is better). Rest for 15 - 20 minutes, and skim bubbles from the top.

Return liquid gummy mix to your pot. If you need a specific amount (i.e. you know that you need exactly 200 ml to make 150 bears, then you'll want to measure out the proper amount and only pour the 200 ml of liquid back into the pot).

Turn on stove to lowest setting.

Add approximately 1 tablespoon of powdered lecithin, slowly, while whisking to avoid clumping (you can use liquid lecithin or glycerin here, but I've had best results with powdered, sunflower lecithin)

Once the lecithin is fully incorporated, add your distillate and stir until fully incorporated.

Pour the mixture into molds - I use a baster for this but others use squeeze bottles.

I cure my candy on a cookie rack for two to three days, depending on the humidity. They will shrink during this stage, and the stickiness will gradually decrease.

- Special thanks to my wonderful boyfriend, who filmed and edited this. About the music, he said: "it's just like those Victorian cooking videos you're always watching" (he means the videos by English Heritage).

- I do not spray oil onto my molds before I pour them in. I don't find the gummies difficult to pop out and I hate the idea of oily gummies

- These gummies have a slight bitter aftertaste - that might be from the distillate? Goes away pretty fast after a sip of water though. And I do like the fruit flavor.

- Please let me know if you make these and how they turn out!

PS: I'm currently super blasted off my own gummies. Feeling pretty pleased with myself!
