Homemade Cranberry Gummy Candy with Gelatin
Natural, delicious fruit gummies are easy to make at home. For a few years now, friends have been bringing us cranberries, big, sweet, and well-priced, and we buy them by the 10-kilo box. I had less than a kilo left from a huge box and spent a while wondering what to do with it. Since I'd long wanted to learn to make homemade fruit candy and pastila, I turned them into these gummies. They came out wonderfully, much better than anything from the store. You can make this candy from any berries, fresh or frozen.
