Liz Gutman and Jen King, authors of Liddabit Sweets Candy Cookbook, share their recipe for homemade gumdrops:
These won’t end up in the classic little domed gumdrop shape (unless you have a bunch of candy molds and more patience than we can muster), but they’ll have the same chew, the same bright colors (standard grocery-store food coloring works great), and the same fruit flavors as those old-timey favorites. Except they’ll be better.
From Brooklyn’s own Liddabit Sweets, it’s the perfect marriage of sugar and spice, packed with 75 foolproof recipes for making artisanal-grade candies in your own home kitchen.
