Attach the candy thermometer to the side and place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Do not stir or touch it at all; just let it do its thing. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, prepare the molds. They must be completely dry and clean so the candies turn out well. Place the molds on a flat surface where they won't need to be moved for a while, or place them on cutting boards that can be moved to a suitable spot later.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon the sugar syrup will start to boil, and then it will take some more time to reach the correct temperature, which is 130\u00b0C\/266\u00b0F. Check it occasionally and don't go anywhere. The higher the temperature of the syrup, the faster the reading will start to rise.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the temperature is exactly 130\u00b0C, remove the saucepan from the heat and place it on a heat-resistant surface. Pour in the bloomed gelatin mixture and stir carefully with a whisk until all the gelatin has dissolved. If the saucepan has a spout, you can pour from there, but you can also use a tablespoon or pour the mixture into a measuring jug (just make sure the material is heat-resistant).  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The candies poured into the molds must set at room temperature for about 12 hours. After that, you can carefully remove them from the molds and coat them with a layer of powdered sugar so they don't stick together. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Store the candies at room temperature in an airtight container; otherwise, they will develop a crust quite quickly. They keep for about six months. Provided, of course, that they last that long.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Add citric acid according to how tart you like the taste. You can technically leave it out, but I would recommend adding at least 0.25 tsp. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">** A wider selection of flavorings can be found in baking supply stores, e.g., Tordiabi\/Koogimeister\/Gemoss, but some selection is also available in larger grocery stores. Check the packaging for the required amounts for each product; they can vary greatly from a few drops to a couple of teaspoons. <br\/>*** Salt reduces the cloying sweetness and makes the flavors deeper, but you must be extremely careful with it.<br\/>**** Food coloring is not mandatory but enhances the eating pleasure. And actually, you can also replace all the water with some tart juice and see what flavor you get. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, it is possible to make gummy candies at home!
