Homemade Gummy Peach Rings

Steps

1. 1

   Puree the fresh peaches, then strain the puree to remove solids and create a smooth peach mixture.

2. 2

   Add the strained peach mixture and honey to a saucepan. The source says agave, maple syrup, or regular sugar can be used instead of honey.

3. 3

   Heat the peach mixture in the saucepan. The source does not specify a temperature or heating time.

4. 4

   Combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and gelatin in a separate container. Lemon juice is used instead of water to avoid diluting the peach flavor.

5. 5

   Add the gelatin-and-lemon mixture to the heated peach mixture and stir until the gelatin has dissolved.

6. 6

   Divide the mixture evenly between two portions.

7. 7

   Add the cherry juice concentrate to one half of the mixture and stir to combine.

8. 8

   Use two droppers to fill the molds with both colors, creating the characteristic peach-ring appearance.

9. 9

   Leave the filled molds to dry out overnight at room temperature so the candies develop a gummy, chewy texture.

10. 10

    Enjoy the peach rings plain, or coat them in a mixture of sugar and citric acid for a sour finish.
