Strawberry Gumdrop Hearts Recipe – A Valentine’s Day Treat

Step 1

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and chill it in the refrigerator.

Step 2

In a large saucepan combine the sugar, applesauce, Jell-O and gelatin and stir constantly over medium heat.

Step 3

Allow to come to a boil for 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour into the cold baking pan and place in the refrigerator until it's set. I actually placed mine in the snow outside for 1 hour, because I'm Canadian and all.

Step 5

Run a spatula around the perimeter of the set gelatin and slide underneath very carefully to loosen.

Step 6

Sprinkle sugar onto a cutting board and invert the pan over it, the genatin should slide out.

Step 7

Gently lift the gumdrop rectangle and sprinkle more sugar onto the board and lay the gelatin onto it.

Step 8

Cut out your heart shapes using a cookie cutter of your choice.

Step 9

Roll in more sugar to coat the shapes fully and store in an air-tight container.
