Instructions

Preparation

  1. 1Lightly grease a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or silicone candy molds with a neutral oil or cooking spray. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 1In a small saucepan, combine mango puree, lime juice, honey, water, and corn syrup. Whisk gently to combine.
  2. 2Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the liquid mixture in the saucepan. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, or until the gelatin has bloomed (looks thick and crinkly).
  3. 3Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
  4. 4Carefully pour the warm gummy mixture into the prepared loaf pan or silicone molds. If using a loaf pan, ensure an even layer.
  5. 5Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until completely set and firm. For best results, allow to chill overnight.

Finishing

  1. 1Once set, carefully unmold the gummies. If using a loaf pan, invert onto a cutting board and cut into desired shapes (cubes, rectangles, etc.) using a sharp knife or cookie cutters.
  2. 2If desired, you can toss the gummies in a small amount of granulated sugar or a mix of citric acid and sugar for an extra tangy coating.
  3. 3Store the Tropical Mango Lime Gummy Chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

  • For perfectly smooth gummies, strain the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve before using to remove any fibrous bits.
  • Avoid boiling the mixture after adding gelatin, as high heat can reduce the gelatin's setting power, leading to softer gummies.
  • For an elegant touch, garnish with tiny mint leaves or lime zest just before serving these fruit & gummy candies.
