How to Make Jelly Beans That Your Kids Will Love

Description

Homemade jelly beans you can make any time using any flavor you can think of.

Resting Time: 1 hour

Detailed Instructions

STEP 1 – Bloom the gelatin

In a medium saucepan, pour the juice and sprinkle the gelatin evenly on top. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.

STEP 2 – Heat the mixture

Heat the mixture over medium heat and gently stir until the gelatin has dissolved completely. Add in the sugar and continue stirring gently until dissolved.

STEP 3 – Add flavor and color to the mixture

Remove the saucepan from the heat and divide the mixture into 8 small bowls. Quickly add in the flavoring extracts and their corresponding colors to each bowl.

For this recipe, I used the following:

• Yellow for pineapple

• White for marshmallow

• Red for strawberry and cherry. If you want to use different shades for each flavor, use different amounts of coloring depending on your preference.

• Yellow and white for popcorn

• Green for lime

• Blue for raspberry

• No coloring for vanilla, but you may also use white if you prefer
