Serves: 6–8 (makes about 100 mini gummies)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup wine (red, white, or rosé)
½ cup Lesley Elizabeth Fruit Flavored Sugar
3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder (about 3 packets)
Silicone gummy molds
Instructions
Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine your choice of wine, Lesley Elizabeth Fruit Flavored Sugar, and unflavored gelatin powder.
Melt Low & Slow: Place over low heat, whisking constantly until the sugar and gelatin completely dissolve. Keep the heat low and do not allow the mixture to boil.
Skim for Clarity: Skim off any excess foam from the surface (or avoid dipping the dropper into the foam) to ensure crystal-clear gummies.
Fill the Molds: Using a dropper, quickly transfer the warm liquid into silicone molds before the mixture starts to thicken.
Refrigerate & Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 90 minutes, or until the gummies are completely firm.
Unmold & Enjoy: Gently pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Why Use Lesley Elizabeth Fruit Flavored Sugars?
Infused with natural fruit notes, Lesley Elizabeth Fruit Flavored Sugars elevate these gummies from simple wine treats to gourmet confections. The flavored sugar complements the subtle acidity of your chosen wine, creating a beautifully balanced sweetness and bright, irresistible fruit aroma in every bite.
Tips & Variations
Pair your sugar flavor with your wine style: try berry-infused sugars with Cabernet or Pinot Noir, and citrus or peach sugars with Sauvignon Blanc or Rosé.
For a fun cocktail garnish, drop a few wine gummies into a chilled glass of Prosecco or sparkling water.
If you don't have gummy bear molds, pour the liquid into a shallow parchment-lined dish, let set, and cut into small squares.
Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks for optimal texture and fresh flavor.
