Description

This Pioneer Woman Gumdrop Recipe is a fun and colorful treat that’s perfect for holidays or as a homemade gift. These chewy candies are easy to make and can be flavored and shaped to suit any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water, divided
  • 1 1/4 oz (35 g) unflavored gelatin (5 packets)
  • 1 3/4 cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon flavored extract (e.g., lemon, orange, or cherry)
  • Food coloring, as desired
  • Granulated sugar, for coating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the gelatin mixture:
    • Pour 1/2 cup of water into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the sugar syrup:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
    • Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook without stirring until the syrup reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.
  3. Combine and flavor the mixture:
    • Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the bloomed gelatin while whisking continuously. Mix until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
    • Stir in the flavored extract and a few drops of food coloring, adjusting the color to your preference.
  4. Set the gumdrops:
    • Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8×8-inch baking dish or silicone molds. Let the gumdrops sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until firm.
  5. Cut and coat the gumdrops:
    • If using a baking dish, loosen the edges with a knife and invert the gumdrops onto a cutting board. Cut into small cubes or desired shapes.
    • Roll each gumdrop in granulated sugar to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve and store:
    • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Flavor variations: Experiment with different extracts and food colorings to create a variety of flavors and colors.
  • Molds: Silicone molds work well for shaping gumdrops into festive or fun designs. Lightly grease the molds for easy removal.
  • Make it sour: Add a bit of citric acid to the sugar coating for a tangy twist.
