Sugar reflections
in science we were learning about sugar and the different stages. We learned that there are many different stages of sugar Thread, softball, Firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, caramel and burnt. Charmaine, brianna and I decided to make gummies, but they didn’t really work it turned out to look taste like a bad jello. It had all of these weird gelatin bits in it. We made it with sugar,gelatin and corn syrup basically which made me think about how really bad they are for you. gummies are suppose to be hard ball which is a form of sugar that is sort of chewy like gummies. The first thing we did was find a recipe with found this recipe that made raspberry orange gummies then we got all the ingredients. Then we made then. The first step was to mix gelatin with water it smells soo bad. Then in a sauce pan we mixed sugar,corn syrup, juice and gelatin water mixture. you cook it to a high temperature then put in the fringe or leave at room temperature for 4-6 hours. We put ours in the refrigerator and it did not work because I don’t think it had time to dry out, because we had a gummie that stuck to the door and it got all hard and gummie like. I definitely better appreciate people who make candy after doing this experiment .
