Jujubes Candies

We all would have tasted atleast once this wonderful chewy jujubes candies in our life, i reproduced the same tasty candies at home, they were quite easy to prepare at home and definitely nothing will beat the homemade food stuffs na..You can add lemon juice,orange juice or strawberry puree to give different flavours to this fruity gelatin based treats..Needless to say this candies are quite addictive, you wont stop munching them if you prepare them at home..I used gelatin sheets for making this candies with orange juice and orange food colour..5 gelatin sheets are equal to one pouch of gelatin powder, coz gelatin sheets are quite easy to use and give a accurate measurement, thats the reason i used them, you can use very well gelatin powder as well..Am sure that kids at home will definitely enjoy this irresistible candies..

25nos Gelatin sheets (cut as thin strips)
1cup Sugar
1/4cup Water
1/2cup Orange juice (fresh & thick)
Orange food colour (as per need)
Sugar for coating
Butter to grease the mould

Take the water,sugar,gelatin papers together in a heavy bottomed pan,heat them and stir continously until the mixture turns as transparent syrup and put off the stove, add the orange juice and orange food colour to the syrup,stir well...Meanwhile grease any sort of mould with butter,pour this gelatin-sugar syrup to the greased mould and let them cool atleast for 5-6hours..

Remove the cooled candies from the mould and roll them in sugar and keep them aside again for an hour..Arrange them in an air tightened box and enjoy..
