Gummie Balls

Since the huge success of the raspberry fudge that I posted last year for my Christmas Candy post, I thought it might be time to share an other sweet treat with all of you. Everybody loves candy, and everybody loves those coco-cola bottles or those gummie bears, so I could not think of anything better to do then make some myself. I made myself three kinds. First up was a Passionfruit and Basil, followed by Raspberry/Lytchee and Rose and finishing off I did with Bramley apple and Rosemary. All the flavours are based on the same recipe so it does not really matter which one I explain. Anyways you need 150 gr of flavoured liquid. that can be anything you want, in my case it was the passionfruit juice which is infused with some basil overnight or 75 gr raspberry juice and 75gr lytchee juice with two drops of rosewater in it or pure bramley apple juice infused with some rosemary. Anyways it does not matter as long as you do the flavours you like the most. After you put 22 gr of gelatine leaves to bloom in ice cold water. while the gelatine is in there you scale 200gr of mineral water, 190 gr of glucose and 225 gr of sugar in a little saucepan. Now you heat up your flavoured liquid, squeeze out the gelatine and add it to the liquid, let the gelatine melt away and keep the liquid warm. Bring your syrup to a 135°C boil and take it of the stove, slowly add some of the flavoured liquid in the syrup to cool it down a bit. when the syrup is cooled down add it slowly to the rest of your flavoured liquid and make sure you have no lumps, just to be sure, you pass it to a sieve into a dispenser and fill your moulds and let them set. If you dont have moulds you can just dispense them as drops on a silpat and let them set like that. don't try to push it to set, just put them in a cool place and let them rest for a few hours. To make the demoulding go a bit more smooth you put it a bit in the freezer. After demoulding you pass them through some sugar and thats it!!!
