Hi folks, been in the food and wine business (on & off) for the past 30 yrs.

Interests include BBQ & smoking; sausage making & curing; Italian/Spanish/Med food.

Now want to expand my knowledge into candy making.

Does any one have a ratio recipe for making pectin/starch based firm jelly candies they could share (pref vegan/vegetarian friendly)?

Also interested in prolonging "shelf life" of this sort of candy w/out artificial or SO2 based preservatives.

Many thanks.

Adam

Welcome aboard Adam! There was another candy thread recently, it took a little time but @Chris_Young_80640 got there with some answers. Somebody around here will step in to help... promise!

Cheers

Hi Adam:

I'm not particularly familiar with candy making, however, i figured you might find some of what you're looking for here: Classes: Chewy Candy.

I did also want to caution you about this as you're looking for vegan/vegetarian friendly recipes. A good amount of sugar is not even vegetarian, let alone vegan. Bone char is a common processing component used in refined sugar. It's basically animal bones that have charred (think bone charcoal). This isn't as common knowledge as it ought to be. Just figured I'd throw that out there, in case you were unaware of this.

Good luck!
