GUM DROPS.
This recipe is intended only for retail confectioners, as large manufacturers of candies do not, or would not, attempt to use this formula in the manufacture of Gum Drops; nevertheless, it pays to make them.
Soak 4 pounds of gelatin in 3 gallons of water a half hour; now take 30 pounds sugar, 8 pounds glucose, and add only 1 pint of water, and cook to 240°; then add the gelatin batch and flavor vanilla or strawberry; stir only one minute, and then set the kettle off on barrel; let it stand a few minutes, then skim off the top and run in starch or any style of molds you wish.
