Instructions
Preparation
- 1Lightly grease your gummy molds with a neutral oil or non-stick spray and set aside. You can also use a 8x8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, allowing an overhang for easy removal.
- 2In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- 3Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the cranberry juice mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. This prevents clumping and ensures a smooth consistency.
Cooking
- 1Place the saucepan over low heat. Gently warm the mixture, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- 2Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rose water.
- 3Carefully pour the liquid into your prepared gummy molds or baking dish. If using a baking dish, let it cool slightly before sprinkling with edible glitter. If using molds, sprinkle glitter directly into each cavity after filling.
- 4Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the gummies are firm and fully set. Once set, unmold the gummies or cut them into desired shapes if using a baking dish.

Tips
- For perfectly clear gummies, skim any foam off the top of the mixture before pouring into molds. This enhances their jewel-like appearance.
- Store leftover gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They are best enjoyed chilled to maintain their chewy texture.
