Steps:
- In a large sauce pan, soften gelatin in cold water 5 minutes.
- Stir in boiling water until gelatin is dissolved.
- Stir in sugar and bring mixture to a boil on medium-high heat.
- Boil to 280 degrees on a candy thermometer about 25 minutes, stirring constantly. (You can also test the candy by dropping a small amount of candy into cold water. The candy is ready when it separates into hard threads that aren't brittle.)
- Pour mixture into two foil lined and greased 8 x 8 inch pans.
- To each pan add 1/2 teaspoon desired favouring and desired food color (if you want clear gumdrops, do not add color).
- Stir until combined.
- Refridgerate pans overnight.
- Lift foil from the pan and remove from from the sides of the candy.
- Using a knife dipped in hot water, cut gelatin mixture into 1-inch cubes.
- Roll each cube in granulated sugar until well coated and allow to sit at room temperature two days to crystallize.
- Store in airtight containers.
