Gumdrops

In a large saucepan, stir together 2 cups sugar, 1 ⅓ cups applesauce, 2 packages of strawberry jello and 2 packages unflavored gelatin. Let this mixture stand for 1 minute.

Over medium heat bring the mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Boil the mixture for one minute.

Immediately pour the mixture into a greased 11×7 or 9×13 pan.

Repeat these streps with another 2 cups of sugar, 1 ⅓ cups sugar, 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin and lime jello.

Place both pans into the fridge for 3 hours.

Cut the mixture into squares and use a metal spatula to pull the squares out and transfer onto a wax or parchment paper.

Using some mini christmas cookie cutters cut out your shapes and place onto a parchment or wax paper lined tray.

Let the candies dry at room temperature 8 hours or overnight. After a minimum of 8 hours dry time take the remaining 1 cup of sugar and dip each gumdrop candy in, coating it all around with sugar.

Enjoy!
