Instructions
- Prepare the Citric Acid Solution: Start by mixing citric acid with an equal amount of water as indicated in the recipe. Keep this mixture warm, as you'll add it to the batch later.
- Prepare the Pectin: Combine 1 part pectin with 2 parts sugar from your recipe in a separate bowl. Ensure they're well mixed and set aside.
- Preheat the Corn Syrup: Warm up the corn syrup to 180°F. This helps it blend more smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Boil Water and Add Pectin/Sugar: Bring your measured water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the pectin/sugar mixture, making sure to stir continuously. Allow it to boil for 1 minute to ensure complete dissolution.
- Incorporate Corn Syrup and Sugar: Slowly blend in the preheated corn syrup and the remaining sugar to the mixture, stirring consistently.
- Add Flavor and Color: If you're using any flavors or colors, now's the time to mix them in.
- Cook to the Right Brix: Cook the mixture until it reaches a Brix level of 78 to 84, adjusting for your desired firmness (higher Brix results in a firmer jel).
- Mix in the Citric Acid Solution: Right before you're set to pour, add the warm citric acid solution you prepared earlier.
- Deposit into Molds or Slab: Quickly pour the mixture into molds or onto a prepared slab. Work swiftly to ensure an even set.
- Cool and Cure: Allow the gummies to cool. Once cooled, remove them from the molds or cut them if you've used a slab. Let them cure for 24 hours to achieve the best texture.
- Final Touch: After curing, roll the gummies in sugar or sprinkle some on top to prevent sticking, adding that final sweet touch.
