1
Clean moulds with hot soapy water and a soft sponge & dry thoroughly (preferably leave for 5-10 hours prior to use in a dry environment, to ensure moulds are completely dry). -
2
Using a small brush or light mist spray, oil the candy moulds. -
3
In a small bowl add leaf gelatine & half the cold water, leave for 5-10 minutes to allow the gelatine to soften and absorb the water. -
4
In a small pan add the corn syrup, caster sugar and remaining water, bring to the boil and simmer until all sugar is fully dissolved. -
5
Remove pan from heat and mix in the freeze-dried fruit powder until fully dispersed, add the gelatine water and citric acid return to a gentle heat, lightly stirring with only a spoon to avoid generating bubbles until gelatine has fully dissolved. -
6
Allow to cool for 5 minutes and stirring smoothly as not to create bubbles but frequently to prevent a skin forming. -
7
Heat for approx. 1 minute on a medium heat stirring after the first 30 seconds then every 15 seconds approx. -
8
Remove pan from heat and allow to cool, stirring lightly but frequently taking care to not generate any additional bubbles within the mix. -
