Smoky Chorizo Pie

This is a place holder for a recipe I whipped up yesterday - we had the Harvest Feast at work.

Gummy Treats!

This is something I haven't tried yet, but will be experimenting perhaps this weekend. I've seen a few kits out there that use carrageenan, but I want to do it from scratch. I'll let you know how it goes...

Gummi Bears

1 small box jello with sugar (any flavor)
7 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup water

Mix in a saucepan until the mixture resembles playdough. Place pan over low heat and stir until melted. Once completely melted, pour into plastic candy molds, and place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
