Gummy Lolly Recipe!

The gummy 'tools' were so popular at Messy Church that we ran out of time for everyone to make them! A number of parents asked for the recipe so here it is for you to try at home yourselves:

 YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 x packet jelly crystals (any flavour but we used lime and raspberry at Messy Church)
• 5 tablespoons gelatine
• 1/2 cup of water
• splash of flavouring (we used lime and raspberry cordial)
• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• cooking spray oil
• paper towel
• plastic chocolate or silicon ice molds (this mixture makes enough to fill 2 molds) 

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Mix jelly crystals and gelatine together in a saucepan with wooden spoon.
• Add water and cordial to the saucepan then stir.
• Leave mixture to rest for about 5 minutes. It should look a bit like playdough.
• Warm mixture over a LOW heat until it melts. Stir to remove any lumps.
• Give your molds a LIGHT spray with cooking oil and wipe out excess with paper towel. (The oil will help you remove the lollies later)
• Spoon the mixture into the molds. 
• Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden.
• Remove from molds and eat. Yum!!

P.S. Photos from Sunday's Messy Church will be online very soon! (+ the recipe/templates for the gingerbread houses so you can try at home)
