Make soft and chewy fruit-flavored gumdrops using star-shaped silicone molds. These red, white, and blue candies will make a fun treat for 4th of July.
Carefully pour into the silicone mold, filling each cavity to the top. Let sit at room temperature for at least 6 hours for best results.
*NOTE: You want pectin that is white or clear looking. I used Sure-Jell for this recipe. Pectin made my Ball has a brown hue to it, so I don't suggest it for this project.
I used a gas stove and All Clad pans which conduct heat really well. It took my sugar much less time to boil to a temperature than called for in the original recipe. So, be sure to watch your thermometer, instead of using time as your guide.
