HOMEMADE GUMMY CANDY/JUJUBES CANDY RECIPE

I enjoy making homemade candies and chocolates a lot. I have already shared few chocolate recipes in my blog. Here is the another addition of candy recipe. Making jujubes/gummy candies are so simple. First  I thought making these gummy candies are very tough. But I was wrong. It takes only 10 to 15 minutes to cook. But It takes hours to set. But result will be awesome.

       I wanted to try jujubes from long time and once I tried with China grass instead of gelatin. But they turned as soft pudding. But this time tried with gelatin and liquid glucose. They came out very well as shop bought gummy candies. My daughters were surprised by seeing these gummy candies in my hand!!!!!!

     If you don't have candy molds you can use any plastic container to set these candies.you can use any food color and flavors as per your taste.I used red,green and violet food colors and for flavors I used vanilla, orange and pineapple essence.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.
