Oh hell yea! Damn fine job with the gummies so far! I'm looking forward to trying the recipe. We make bho based hard candies over here. The favorite flavor extracts we have found so far are watkins brand rootbeer and mccormick pure lemon. Potency wise we make each candy with +/- 5mg of bho concentrate.

Thanks for dropping in manI've finalized the recipe an process an felt comfortable to pump out a decent amount for friends an family. I also got the end process down better with a cornstarch dusting I'll explain in detail too.
Today I'm gonna start the potency tests to what's the limit flavor wise. Just pressed out about 35 grams of rosin for the trials
As for the sour belts, those bad boys are actually fruit roll ups......I got a recipe for that too if ya like that was shared with me when I lived on Oahu.

And away we go...………..
My Gummy Recipe:
1 big box jello (170 grams)
6 tbsp knox gelatin
1-2 tsp citric acid powder
1 cup cold juice-no pulp
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup vegtable glycerin
1 tsp sunflower lecithin
5 tbsp coconut oil
2 drops Lorann Preserve-it Antioxidant
2 drops Lorann Mold inhibitor
The process is everything with it like tempering chocolate or making suckers with hard candy, temperature is the key. There are make it or brake it ingredients that make the difference between store bought an "There good if ya keep em in the fridge." Corn syrup gives the sweet an the citric acid gives a sour so go 2 tsp is ya favor the pucker effect. The citric acid also adds a shelf stability with its natural preservative nature. Vegtable glycerin give it the bounce an spring back that is essential. I'm alergic to soy an it sucks anyway so I use sunflower lecithin which is a must to keep the coconut oil emulsified an keep your concentrate in even levels between gummies. For the juice I like to use gateraide or other 100% juices like tart cherry is a killer one I found that I use in my fruit punch recipe. So lets get to the process........
I start by adding all my ingredients that are dry in a small sauce for a single batch, but a stew pot if you're going to do a bigger batch (380-390 bears per batch so make sure you have the molds to pour out a big batch if you do). Get your timer an set it to 20 minutes, add the juice an stir till evenly wet an no dry clumps an count down. This is the blooming process that is one of the essential steps to a quality gummy.
Now get your candy thermometer an stick it in so its half way into the mix but not touching the bottom. Put the heat on medium an raise the temp to 140 then slowly stir together till you have a nice liquid mix. Now you're going to raise it to 160, at that point you will add all the rest of the ingredients. Have all your ingredients measured an set aside ready while it blooms. I add lecithin, then coconut oil, veg glycerin, light corn syrup, the antioxidant drops then the mold inhibitor drops. I take a hand blender with a egg beater single attachment an mix everything till the coconut oil is fully emulsified. I use a soup ladle to mix later to not create more bubbles an it helps when you need to fill your squeeze bottle to fill the molds. Watch the temperature as to not go above 180, so once I hit 160 I turn down the heat to medium-low to get it at a working temp of 140-150. Once you get it to a workable temp you can start filling the molds. Keep mixing each time you go to refill your squeeze bottle.
Now that the molds are all filled you need to move them to the freezer for an hour. I used cheap aluminum serving trays that were a buck for 2 at the dollar store. I fit 2 on it an use cut pvc pieces to act as spacers an I stack 5 -6 trays in a shelf if that helps.
Once they come out you let them sit for another 3 hours to let them dry/cure a lil bit. Next step is the cornstarch dusting which is just a small pinch in a Tupperware with 1 mold of gummies at a time shaken up, then another pinch an shake some more until you notice then don't stick together an have a slight frost look. Immediately package with a heat sealer to preserve freshness an your done.
Thanks man!!
Someone from insta sent me medicated choc covered gummy strawberrys today
Sweeeeeet! I guess I have to say pun intended now...
Burt Lurdsman here.. looks like I got some reading for tonight! Thanks!
Burt Lurdsman here.. looks like I got some reading for tonight! Thanks!Really appreciate you taking the time to start this thread, I’ve wanted a good recipe for candy type edible.
I’ve tried this recipe a few times now, first time it seemed like there was a rubber taste, so I suspected the gelatin or glycerin.
Substituted the regular gelatin with agar agar, a supposed substitute made from red algae. Tried it twice and didn’t like that it doesn’t totally dissolve, kind of a grainy final product.
Went back to your original recipe last night and they come out fine this time, no rubber taste. Guessing it was the molds somehow gave off some silicone taste. Actually washed molds in dishwasher prior to using.
I’m using jolly rancher flavored apple jello, 79 gram small box, so roughly cutting recipe in half, adding a gram of infused coconut oil and getting 250 gummy bears, so 4 milligram per gummy.
Honestly one gummy is plenty strong, I have a fairly good tolerance, and take infused coco for a couple years now. Going to try half of one tonight to see how strong that is.
Kind of insane how much mileage you can get out of one gram of infused coconut oil. Way more than smoking equivalent amount would do.
I’m looking for a better gummy filler than the fat droppers that come with the molds, that seems to be the slowest part of the process
I’ll snap a pic of what i use to fill. Makes life a lil easier.

With the new gummies, what kind of shelf life are you seeing?
