Homemade Mango Gummies

Mango gummiesEnjoy these Mango gummies. One of the things I miss most living in the USA is the packaged sweets that I used to eat as a kid in Chile: Sunny, Super8, Negritas, Traga-Tragas, Rayitas, Cola de Tigre, and Frugelé.

This recipe is for one flavor, but you may substitute the fruit juice for another variety, and in some cases, such as apple juice, you will need to add a dye to make them look like the original Frugelé. With a little work, you can recreate your favorite flavor.

Important: Homemade Frugelé or gummies are temperature sensitive, so you must keep them in a cool place. I wanted to bring some to a meeting that I have on Wednesdays at lunchtime in downtown Houston and put them in the car, stopping at various places to buy things, when I got to the meeting they were melted …. big fail. I still under-estimate the heat of summer here.

    This recipe is a disaster. I followed the instructions exactly and it took longer to dry. Once covered with the sugar, it was tme to taste. They tasted like nothing. Don’t waste your time and money on this lover recipe.

      Eran las favoritas de mi abuela, pero no las he hecho para el blog. Las agrego a los pendientes.
