These homemade gumdrops are fruity, chewy, and perfect for sharing with friends and family!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong>:<br>\u2013 2 cups fruit juice (grape, orange, or apple)<br>\u2013 1 tablespoon lemon juice<br>\u2013 1\/4 cup granulated sugar (for the gumdrop mixture)<br>\u2013 3 cups granulated sugar (for coating)<br>\u2013 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin<br>\u2013 1\/4 teaspoon salt<br>\u2013 Optional: Food coloring<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Directions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Start by grabbing a medium saucepan and mixing together your favorite fruit juice with a splash of zesty lemon juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add in 1\/4 cup of granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring until everything is beautifully dissolved.<br>2. Now, it\u2019s time to bloom the gelatin! Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin over your juice mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This helps the gelatin do its magic!<br>3. Next, place the saucepan over medium heat and keep stirring constantly until the mixture is warm and the gelatin has completely dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Just remember\u2014no boiling allowed!<br>4. Once you have a nice, smooth mixture, pour it into a greased 8\u00d78-inch baking dish or some fun silicone molds if you\u2019re feeling playful.<br>5. Pop that dish into the fridge and let it chill for at least 4-6 hours, or until the gumdrops are nice and firm.<br>6. When they\u2019re all set, carefully remove the gumdrops from the dish. You can cut them into small squares or use a cute cookie cutter to create fun shapes.<br>7. Take a shallow dish and pour in the 3 cups of granulated sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, it\u2019s time for a sweet coating! Roll each gumdrop in the sugar to coat them thoroughly, then shake off any excess sugar.<br>8. Finally, store your delightful homemade gumdrops in an airtight container at room temperature. They\u2019ll last for several weeks\u2014assuming they last that long with family and friends around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy these fruity delights and let the sweetness take over! \ud83c\udf47\ud83c\udf4a\ud83c\udf4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients:\u2013 2 cups fruit juice (grape, orange, or apple)\u2013 1 tablespoon lemon juice\u2013 1\/4 cup granulated sugar (for the gumdrop mixture)\u2013 3 cups granulated sugar (for coating)\u2013 2 tablespoons unflavored [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7052,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7050\/revisions\/7052"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
