Ingredients
·
2½ cups granulated
sugar divided
·
1½ cups applesauce -
no sugar added
·
6 oz Jello {i.e.
cherry, lime, etc.}
·
½ oz unflavored
gelatin 2 envelopes
·
1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
1. Coat a
9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Combine 2
cups sugar, applesauce, Jell-O, unflavored gelatin and lemon juice in a large
saucepan. Stir to combine. Let stand for 1 minute.
3. Bring to
a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
4. Boil for
1 minute and then immediately pour into prepared baking dish.
5. Refrigerate
until firm - about three hours should do it. I left mine in overnight.
6. Cover a
large cutting board with parchment paper and sprinkle with sugar.
7. Loosen
the sides of the gelatin with a spatula and invert onto parchment paper.
8. Use
small, sharp cookie cutters to cut out gumdrops. If needed, you can dip the
cutters into hot water first. You may need to periodically rinse off the
cutters as well to keep them clean.
9. Leave the
cutout gumdrops on top of the sugar-coated parchment paper for about 8 hours or
until just slightly sticky.
10. Roll the
gumdrops in the remaining sugar and store in an airtight container.
