HOMEMADE LEMON GUM DROPS RECIPE:
Steps:
- Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, add the lemon juice, fruit pectin, and baking soda.
- Bring just to a boil (the mixture will foam up vigorously), then reduce heat to low (do not let the mixture boil again), and keep on the low heat.
- In a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar and corn syrup, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring, and let it boil until it reaches 280 degrees F. (soft-crack stake) on your candy or cooking thermometer.
- If you do not have a cooking thermometer, you can test the candy by dropping a small amount of the candy mixture into cold water. The candy is ready when it separates into hard threads that are not brittle.
- Carefully and slowly pour the hot sugar/corn syrup mixture into the the hot juice mixture, stirring constantly (this will take a couple of minutes). When the two mixtures are combined, remove from heat and add the food coloring (if using). Let the mixture stand for 2 minutes, then skim off any foam (if there is any) from the surface. Pour the candy mixture into the prepared pan.
- Let sit at room temperature, uncovered, for at least 12 hours or overnight.
- Lift aluminum foil from the pan and remove foil from the sides. Cut the gumdrops into 3/4-inch squares with a knife dipped into sugar. Roll gumdrop squares in sugar. NOTE: They will be sticky. I ended up having to roll them in my hands and then in the sugar.
- Let stand uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour. If desired, roll in additional sugar. NOTE: As they still were a little sticky, I placed them in the refrigerator.
- Store gumdrops in an airtight container in the refrigerator in a single layer.
- Makes about 50 gumdrops.

COLORFUL GUMDROP CAKE
I remember liking a gumdrop cake my Mom used to make, I do not have her recipe, so when i saw this one in a magazine i hung onto it,have not made it yet, but it sounds good. Would be nice at Christmas time for the kiddies. The intro to the recipe recommends using sugar coated gumdrops that you can find in the bulk food stores and using only the red, green, white & yellow ones.
