Red Wine Pate De Fruits (Gummies)

Yields 64 Gummies

Ingredients

4 oz Unsweetened apple sauce
8oz Red wine (of choice)
2 tbsp Corn syrup
3 tbsp Pectin
1 cup White sugar
1 tsp Lemon juice
Extra white sugar

Method:

1. Bring the apple sauce, wine and corn syrup to a boil in a pot.
2. Add in the pectin and sugar mixture and bring back to a boil, letting the temperature reach 225°F (should take about 10 minutes on medium heat).
3. While boiling, spray and line an 8” x 8” pan with parchment paper.
4. Take the pot off the heat and add the lemon juice, stirring until evenly combined and pour onto the lined pan.
5. Put on oven mitts and transfer your pan to the place it will set for the next 12 hours until chilled (at room temperature).
6. Once chilled, you have the option to either cut into 1” x 1” cubes or use a mini cookie cutter and cut out the shape of your choice (a grape cluster, fall leaves, a pumpkin, etc.)
7. Once cut, toss into a bowl of plain white sugar until each side is evenly coated.
8. Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container in the freezer with today’s date on it.
9. Store for up to 3 months in the freezer and let thaw for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Tip:

1. Using an electronic thermometer is best as it reads a lot more accurate than you would with a glass! The temperature being off by just a few degrees could make the difference of soup and gummies!
2. When cooking with high temperatures, you must be extra careful and wear oven mitts when handling any equipment this molten gummy touches (pots/pans).
