Description

Delight in these homemade Shamrock Gummies crafted with lime Jell-O, applesauce, and gelatin, shaped into festive shamrocks. Perfect as a fun and fruity treat, these gummies are cooked on the stovetop and chilled until set, offering a sweet, tangy snack with a satisfying chew.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 Cups Applesauce
  • 2.25 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Lime Jell-O (3 oz boxes)
  • 2 Packs Unflavored Gelatin
  • Granulated Sugar (for dusting and coating)

Tools

  • Shamrock Cookie Cutter
  • 13×9-inch Baking Dish
  • Parchment Paper

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the applesauce, sugar, lime Jell-O mix, and unflavored gelatin. Place over medium to high heat and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a full boil.
  2. Boil: Allow the mixture to boil for one full minute while stirring to fully dissolve the gelatin and sugar, ensuring a smooth gummy base.
  3. Pour and Chill: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Line a 13×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour the hot mixture into it. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gummy mixture is fully set.
  4. Prepare for Cutting: Once set, carefully lift the gummy slab out of the pan using the parchment paper. Dust the surface of the gummy layer with granulated sugar to prevent sticking.
  5. Cut Shapes: Using a shamrock cookie cutter, press out shamrock shapes from the gummy slab. After cutting the first shape, dip the cookie cutter in sugar before each subsequent cut to avoid sticking.
  6. Coat Gummies: Roll each shamrock gummy in granulated sugar to coat all sides and the bottom. Place the coated gummies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet to set and dry slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Using parchment paper is key to easy removal of the gummy slab from the baking dish.
  • Dipping the cookie cutter in sugar between cuts prevents the gummies from sticking and tearing.
  • Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
  • For a firmer gummy, slightly increase the amount of unflavored gelatin used.
  • These gummies are best consumed within a week for optimal texture and flavor.
