GUM DROPS ( jelly candy )

Ingredients 

• 3 tblsp unflavored gelatin 
• ½ cup cold water 
• 1 1/2 cup boiling water 
• 2 cups sugar 
• ¼ tsp. Orange , lemon , mango, blueberry extract 
• about 3 drops each green , orange , blue and yellow food coloring 
• more sugar for coating, about 1-2 cups 

Instructions 

Combine gelatin with ½ cup cold water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes. 

Combine 1 1/2 cup boiling hot water with sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. (Till it reach a little thick consistency)Remove from heat.

Add gelatin mixture to syrup, and stir until completely dissolved. 

Pour in 4 separate bowls and add each color in one bowl accordingly add the essence ,like I added .....

Blue - Blueberry  ,Green - Mango, Yellow- Lemon , Orange - Orange . ( I added fresh lemon juice and orange juice )

Pour prepared gelatin into the separate moulds . Spray the moulds with cooking spray first,  or u can apply oil with brush . Put them in fridge .

After it sets on in the fridge, (over night for best result ) turn it out onto a cutting board with sugar bed .Trust me on this one.  This stuff is really sticky and it sticks to absolutely everything.  

Put sugar on the cutting board, and then another layer of sugar on top of your gelatin before you begin to cut . I also applied a bunch more sugar around on the cutting board, because each slice will need to be coated, too, to keep the sticky mess less. 

Once cut and sugared 3 or 4 slices, then diced them into little squares.  It really a pretty tough to get all the squares even, but you can get it close.  

You can certainly eat them right away, but the texture and flavor will improve a bit after sitting in the fridge a couple days in a dish of sugar.  I recommend keeping these in the fridge, to keep the texture nice.
