2 cups fresh orange juice (about 4\u20135 oranges)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup corn syrup (or glucose syrup)
1\/4 teaspoon salt
2 packets unflavored gelatin (about 4 tablespoons)
1\/2 cup cold water
1 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for stronger flavor)
Orange food coloring (optional)
Extra sugar for coating<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
In a small bowl, pour the cold water over the gelatin. Let it bloom for 5\u201310 minutes until fully absorbed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In a saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, corn syrup, salt, and orange zest.
Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10\u201315 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Remove from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Add a few drops of orange food coloring if you want a brighter color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased shallow pan or silicone molds.
Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 3\u20134 hours until fully set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Once firm, remove from the mold and cut into small wedge or slice shapes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Roll each piece in granulated sugar until fully coated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Place candies on parchment paper and let them air-dry for several hours or overnight for a chewier texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 For firmer candy, use 3 packets gelatin instead of 2
\u2013 You can replace orange juice with lemon, grapefruit, or tangerine juice
\u2013 Add a few drops of orange extract for stronger flavor
\u2013 For shiny candies, coat lightly with sugar and cornstarch mixed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
