@sballo I was perusing FaceBook this morning and saw a post regarding gummies... this was the recipe:
1/4 cup unflavored gelatin powder
1 cup cold water
1-5 ml of SOME kind of concentrated flavour extract or powder (I use Kool aid packets or lorann oils but I've also used all sorts of random candy products like warhead sour drops or lic-m-aid or sour dippers) just make sure it's shelf stable. Fruit juice will make them go moldy if not refrigerated, so I don't recommend fruit juice.
Citric acid to taste depending on the flavouring you use (5-15ml usually)
1.5 cups white sugar
Small amount of coconut oil
Concentrated cannabis oil (decarbed shatter, RSO, decarbed distillate all work)
If your extract is not decarbed, you're gonna want to do that first. Put it in an oven safe container, preferably silicon non stick so it's easy to get it back out after. Put it in the oven at 230F for about 20-30 mins.
Mix your cannabis extract approximately 1:1 with the coconut oil in a small glass or ceramic jar, put it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Stir. Repeat until it's a smooth consistency.
Mix cold water and gelatin and flavouring vigorously in small saucepan. Let sit 5-10 minutes for the gelatin to 'bloom' (absorb all the water)
Heat slowly (medium heat) and add sugar (and cannabis oil mixed 1:1 with coconut oil) heat JUST to a boil. Remove from heat. Like the second it starts bubbling, take it off the heat. Let it sit until it cools to almost room temperature,stirring every couple minutes. (For firmer/chewy gummies,repeat this step a 2nd time)
Pour into molds and put it in the fridge or freezer for 12-24 hours to set. Remove from molds and set on parchment paper to dry for 4-8 hours
Roll the gummies in sugar or sour sugar(4 parts sugar 1 part citric acid) ,or vanilla sugar if you want em extra sweet. (Vanilla sugar is sold at bulk Barn or sometimes in packets in the baking aisle at the grocery)
Set the gummies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Let them dry with a fan pointed at it for 3-4 days, flipping occasionally.
The consistency changes as they dry, day 1 and 2 is like Jello, day 3 and 4 is like a soft gummi bear, day 5 or 6 they get firmer which some people like, and if you leave em longer you get kind of a hard outer shell and soft middle almost like a jelly bean. Feel free to experiment with the drying process.. it's alot like curing weed. If they're drying out too fast, you can put them in containers with lids then leave the lid on for 12 hours off for 12 hours, or on 24 off 24, etc etc. I usually do about 5-6 days of drying. But it also depends on how dry the air is where you live. It will be very different if you are in the desert or if you live by the ocean.
Once you seal them in a container or bag they will keep the consistency (as long as you don't do it too soon, if you seal them at the Jello stage they will sweat)
and can infuse as much oil I wish and make something with it.
