Here is the method I use. This is sttuuuuuupid easy and works everytime.
Materials Needed
- 225 cavity 2.5ml Square Silicone mold
- Full Spectrum Distillate
- MCT Coconut Oil Non-Stick Spray
- Hot Plate/Stove
- Refrigerator
- Stainless Steel Table
- Speed Rack
- Stainless Steel Tray
- Stainless Steel Pot
- Stainless Steel Bowl
- Food Scale
- Spatula
- Pastry Brush
- Water
- Spoon
- Measuring Spoons
- 3 16oz Squeeze Bottle
- 2 Teaspoons Lecithin
- 8 Ounces (227g) granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons (27g) Dextrose Powder
- 8 Ounces (227g) Corn Syrup Glucose
- 6 ounces (170g) cool water
- 44 Grams Gelatin
- 2.5 Teaspoons Citric Acid
- 1.5 Teaspoons Candy Flavoring (Blue Raspberry, Peach, Watermelon)
Procedure
- Clean and dry hot plate/stove, all molds, pots, bowls, and squeeze bottles with soap and water that is between 110 - 115 degrees Fahrenheit (110-115F)
- Disinfect all work surfaces with a mixture of 1 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water
- Rinse surfaces with clean water
- Weigh all ingredients to be used for gummy production
- Place Full Spectrum Distillate into oven in Pyrex glass container at 165-175 F to make it fluid
- Place Lecithin into oven to match temperature of fluid Full Spectrum Distillate
- Once the Full Spectrum Distillate and Lecithin are the same temperature mix the distillate with Lecithin until fully combined (5 mins)
- While Distillate and Lecithin come to temp combine gelatin, and water in a stainless-steel bowl. Stir gently to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to give your gelatin time to bloom
- Combine the corn syrup, sugar, and dextrose powder in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once simmering, wash down the sides of the pan with water using a pastry brush to make sure all sugar is dissolved fully
- Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in your citric acid and gelatin mixture with a spatula until the gelatin is melted
- Mix in Lecithin and Full Spectrum Distillate blend
- Add flavoring
- Let stand for 10 minutes and allow the mixture to clear and foam to collect at the top. After 10 minutes the foam can be scooped off the surface with a spoon.
- Place mold onto stainless steel table while gummy mixture cools
- Spray molds with MCT Coconut Oil Non-Stick Spray
- Fill squeeze bottles with gummy mixture
- Fill Each cavity with gummy mixture
- Place filled gummy mold onto stainless steel
- Place stainless steel tray onto speed rack
- Move speed rack into walk in cooler for 6-12 hours for gummies to set
- After gummy’s are set remove gummies from mold by bending mold
- Tumble finished gummies in granulated sugar
EDIT: you don’t have to wash the sides down with water to make sure sugar is full dissolved. That step can be skipped.
