¾ cup Corn Syrup
½ cup Granulated Sugar
3 tbs. Confection Powdered Sugar
3 tbs. Water

Mix the above ingredients in a typical medium soup pot over just under medium stove heat, just about up to under a simmer, until the sugars are completely dissolved and clear.

In a separate bowel, mix the following ingredients, nice and well until you have a paste, and let it absorb for a good five minutes:

6 tbs. Lemon Juice, or Candied Cherry’s Juice (Grenadine is great for this too!)
4 tbs. Unflavored Gelatin (it’s a lot; you can get it in bulk online at Amazon.com)
¼ cup Water

Combine the two mixtures over a medium heat for 5 or ten minutes, and increase the heat some nearer the end making sure no to let the foam heat over.

Prepare your mold by using grease with barely any on a paper towel, such as olive oil and grease the interior of the mold you’ll pour into.

I use small ice cube trays that I get at the local grocery which conveniently has rubber bottoms for pushing them out, and come in nice sized gum drops smaller then ice cubes, or even long bar style ones, that are great for chocolate.

Pour the heated liquid into a spout pour handled pitcher container, such as Pyrex measuring glasses, to pour into a mold, the mixture may get very thick once off the heat so you might need to be quick.

After poured into the mold, refrigerate for about an hour, then enjoy!

These will come out similar to the straw berry gummy you may have seen with a clear layer and a white layer that has a bubble texture, when done correctly, however it's more of a blend from the clear to the bubble. I tried a recipe online and ended up with clear lemon drops, it was the middle of the night an no stores were open and I craved gummy! Victory! This is how I did my second batch, the online recipe calls for Glucose and Sorbitol which I had neither.
