Gumdrop Squares

1. 1

   Mix the applesauce, the unflavored gelatin, the fruit flavored gelatin, sugar and lemon juice; heat to boiling and boil 1 minute, stirring frequently.

2. 2

   Fill loaf pan halfway to the top with cold water.

3. 3

   Pour out the water, then immediately pour the gelatin mixture into the wet pan, using rubber scraper to clean the side of the saucepan.

4. 4

   When the loaf pan is cool enough to touch, refrigerate about 3 hours or until candy is firm.

5. 5

   Cut the candy into 1 inch squares (dip the knife in a glass of water to keep the candy from sticking).

6. 6

   Lift each square from the pan onto ungreased cookie sheet.

7. 7

   Let stand at least 8 hours to dry. After candy has dried, place some sugar in bowl, then roll each square in the sugar until all sides are coated.
