All we needed was 1 -3 oz box of flavored gelatin and 2 – 1/4 oz packages of unflavored gelatin, water and candy molds. (we used two candy molds) Place 1/3 cup water in a small sauce pan. Sprinkle the Jello and unflavored gelatin over the water.

Homemade Gummi Candy

These ancient sweets are called pâte de fruits " maison ". " Maison " means house in French. The candies are very easy and require only a few ingredients: fruit pulp, pectin and sugar. The flavor is similar to fruit leather, but with a softer texture. http://www.phamfatale.com/id_1559/title_Loquat-and-Strawberry-Pate-de-Fruits-Recipe-French-Fruit-Jelly-Candies/
