Simple Vegan Gummies
Ingredients:
3 tbsp Pectin (Rapid Set HM Pectin preferred)
3 cups Sugar
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp Isomalt or Corn Syrup
1 Tbsp Citric Acid
1 cup and 1 tbsp Water
1 tsp Metarom USA Flavorings of your choice
1 tsp Coloring (natural colors, liquid food coloring, or gel food coloring)
Additional sugar for sweet coating or citric acid for sour coating
Steps to Make Pectin Gummies:
1. Dry-Mix Pectin: Mix the pectin with a 1/2 cup of sugar to prevent clumping.
2. Hydrate Pectin Mix: Combine the pectin and sugar mixture with the 1 cup of water and heat it to a boil.
3. Combine Additional Sugar: While the pectin mixture is heating, dry-mix the 2 cups of sugar with the isomalt or corn syrup. Add this to the heating pan while whisking it to avoid clumping.
4. Cook to Desired Temperature: Cook the mixture until it reaches 240°F for the best gummy texture. For a softer chew, stop at 230°F, and for a firmer texture, heat up to 250°F.
5. Add Flavor and Coloring: Once the desired temperature is reached, remove from heat and add the flavor(s), mixing well. Then add color in a similar fashion.
6. Add Acid: Create a citric acid solution. Similarly, add the colored water to the heated sugar mix once it reaches 240°F. Mix briefly and then pour into a large silicone mold (or small individual molds) to set in a cool, dry room for 1 to 2 hours.
7. Coat Gummies: Once set and cut or de-molded, sand the pectin candy (coat the gummies in sugar or citric acid) to prevent sticking. Allow to fully dry for 24 hours.
8. Storage: Store the gummies in an airtight container or a cool, dry place for up to one month.
