Hey there, snack lovers! 🌟 Looking for a fun and tasty treat to satisfy your sweet and sour cravings? Try these Homemade Sour Strawberry Gummies! Perfect for any time and super easy to make. 😋✨

Ingredients:
12 ounces (300 g) fresh or frozen (and thawed) strawberries, pureed
1⅔ cups (330 g) granulated sugar (do not reduce this!)
2 tablespoons (44 g) corn syrup
1 box (48 g) regular fruit pectin (e.g., Sure Jell Original in the yellow box)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup (120 g) filtered water
¼ teaspoon powdered citric acid, dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water (or use 2 tablespoons lemon juice)
Directions:
Prepare the Strawberry Puree:

Puree Strawberries: Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Mixture:
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, granulated sugar, and corn syrup. Stir to combine.
3. Heat and Stir: Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to boil.

Add Pectin and Baking Soda:
4. Mix Pectin: In a small bowl, mix the fruit pectin with the baking soda. The mixture will fizz.
5. Combine Mixtures: Add the pectin mixture to the boiling strawberry mixture and stir well to combine.

Continue Cooking:
6. Cook Until Ready: Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches 220°F (104°C) on a candy thermometer.

Add Citric Acid:
7. Mix In Acid: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the dissolved citric acid (or lemon juice) until well combined.

Mold the Gummies:
8. Pour and Cool: Pour the hot mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined baking dish. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until set.

Cut and Coat:
9. Shape Gummies: If using a baking dish, cut the set mixture into small squares or desired shapes.
10. Optional Coating: Optionally, coat the gummies in additional citric acid or granulated sugar for extra sourness
