Gummi Candy Nut Cranberry Snack Recipes

JELLIED CRANBERRY NUT CANDY

Steps:

• 1. Line an 8-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter, then set aside.
• 2. In a large saucepan combine the cranberry sauce, 1 cup sugar and gelatin. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in walnuts.
• 3. Pour into prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Alternatively, you can pour into buttered pan without foil. Though it may be a little more difficult to remove, it can be done with a metal spatula).
• 4. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil and cut into 1-in. squares. Roll in remaining sugar.
• 5. Store at room temperature between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. These are best when stored for at least three days before serving.

CRANBERRY GUMDROPS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the cranberry juice; let stand for 2 minutes to soften. Add cranberry sauce and 1 cup of sugar; cook over low heat until sauce is melted and sugar is dissolved; about 10 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
• Remove from heat and add cranberry gelatin (raspberry gelatin if you can't find the cranberry gelatin); stir until completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Pour into 8 inch square dish that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 12 hours or overnight (do not refrigerate).
• Cut into one inch squares; roll in remaining sugar. Place on baking sheets; let stand at room temperature for at least 3 hours. I let mine stand overnight to keep the gumdrops from weeping. Turn pieces over and let stand for an additional 3 - 6 hours. Roll in additional sugar if desired. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
• Yield: about 5 dozen.
