Gummy Bears
1-3oz box Jell-O (we used cherry)
1 pkg unflavoured gelatin (7g)
1/4tsp citric acid
1/4c corn syrup, glucose, or tapioca syrup (80g)
1/3c room temp water
Stir together gelatins and citric acid. Add corn syrup and water, and stir gently (to avoid air bubbles, cosmetic only). Let sit for 5 minutes so the gelatin can bloom. Stir gently, then microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir then heat for 15 seconds, stir, heat 15 sec, stir...for a total heating time of 1 1/2 minutes. Let set for ten minutes. It should clear up a fair amount. Spray molds with oil spray. Pour into molds using a measuring cup with a pouring lip (the eyedroppers that come with the molds don't work well). Let set 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from molds and set them on their little butts for 48 hours. Lay them on their backs for 24 hours. If they're not chewy enough, leave them out, tossing them around a bit. Store in an air-tight container, tossed with a tiny pinch of cornstarch to keep them from sticking together--if you don't eat them all up first!
