Gumdrops 3.0

 This year for our famous 25 days of baking, I thought I would try a little candy making.  Everyone here loves cherry gum drops and cherry jellies. Homemade has to be better!!! I found a recipe for gum drops and got busy.

First attempt

Beautiful!!!

Can't wait to try them.

Next morning......a wet drippy horrible awful soupy mess.

Gumdrops 2.0!!!!!!!

Pure perfection.

Everyone will love these!

I can't wait to wrap them!!!!

This morning.

Syrup everywhere. 

Complete and utter disaster.

Anyone have a good recipe for Gumdrops 3.0?????

Or maybe I should stick to good ole baking!

Work Hard Nap Hard

Our Devons work SO hard all day
