Can't you just see them doing the jig or maybe hunting for that pot of gold?
My little guy is just waiting for his lucky kiss!!!!!!!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
May the friendships you make,
Be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds
Be small ones for sure.
And trusting in Him
To Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart,
Every step of the way.
On to the recipe! This one is from Melissa's Cuisine
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar, plus a little extra for rolling the gumdrops in
1-1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 3-oz packages Lime Jell-O
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
Line a 13x9 pan with parchment paper, lightly spray paper with cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients, let stand 1 minute
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, boil for 1 minute.
Immediately pour into the prepared pan.
Place in refrigerator for 3 hours or until firm
Loosen sides from pan with a spatula
Place onto a cutting board
Cut out gum drops using a knife dipped in hot water to cut squares or use a cookie cutter that you also dip in hot water
Roll Gum Drops in extra sugar, set onto wax paper until slightly dry
Store in an airtight container
Oh my gosh-those are so darned cute! You have so much patience.....I'm SO bad at little things like this.My Mom LOVES gumdrops. I've never tried making homemade ones.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day! :)
They really were easy Carol- I'm glad there is a kid in the neighborhood- you know were they went!
DeleteI think these are adorable. I remember making something similar to this for my kids when they were "kids". Only we didn't roll them in sugar. I doubt I would have the patience to cut them out, I would cut squares or use cookie cutters. Going to save this for my daughter, this will be cute for the kids to do.
ReplyDeleteMyra- they are kinda healthy. Not 100 % sugar! The applesauce helps.
