Use fresh or frozen blueberries to make these homemade blueberry gumdrops flavored with Balsamic vinegar.
Place blueberries, brown sugar, and Balsamic vinegar in saucepan. Heat on medium-low for 10 minutes, stirring often.
Remove from heat and pour into a food processor or blender. Puree. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve, twice, removing all the solids. Clean the saucepan, then pour in ¾ cup of the puree.
Grease a 1 ½ to 2-quart stainless steel pot with butter. Pour corn syrup into the bottom. Sprinkle sugar in the center of the pan. Turn heat on medium-high and allow it to cook for one minute. Then stir gently to dissolve sugar. Be careful not to splash the sugar crystals onto the side of your saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. This took me just a few minutes, but it can take up to 10 minutes. Clip your candy thermometer onto the side of your pot. Cook, without stirring, until the thermometer registers 260 degrees Fahrenheit.
Carefully pour the hot mixture into silicone molds. Allow the candy to cool at room temperature for up to 8 hours. Press the backside of the silicone mold and pop the candy out.
Store your candies at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If stored in the refrigerator, the sugar coating may get sticky.
