In 1915 A University Chemist Developed The Gumdrop Observed on February 15th, National Gumdrop Day recognizes a favorite candy of many; the gumdrop! On National Gumdrop Day, there is no question as to what to do. Eat gumdrops and eat as many as you want! Gumdrops are a tasty, colorful, chewy candy that is made with gelatin and then coated with sugar. They come in a variety of flavors and can either be fruity or spicy. These little candy treats have been popular for decorations for decoration gingerbread houses for many years. The classic board game, Candy Land, features both a Gumdrop Pass and a Gumdrop Mountain. Besides enjoying them by the handful, there are many other ways to use gumdrops: In cookies Decorate cakes or cupcakes In popcorn cake For crafts For gifts You can also make gumdrops yourself. According to many recipes, you would need vegetable oil, sugar, corn syrup, fruit juice, powdered fruit pectin, baking soda and food coloring. Credit for the modern gumdrop goes to chemist and candy manufacturer Percy S. Truesdell. According to articles after his death in 1948, he was the man responsible for taking what was once a hard, poorly flavored glob of sugar and turning it into the smooth, chewy delight we enjoy today. While at the University of Ohio, Truesdell altered the consistency of the of the candy by experimenting with the amount of starch used. He later worked for the Snyder-Chafee Company until 1915. In 1916, Truesdell founded and incorporated the P.S. Truesdell Candy Manufacturing Company. At his death, he became known as the Gumdrop King. From Foodimentary.com: Five Food Find about Gumdrops The most popular flavors are cherry, grape, orange, lemon, and spice flavors like clove, cinnamon, mint, and anise (licorice). Originally, gumdrops were flavored with spices: orange (clove), yellow (allspice), red (cinnamon), green (spearmint), purple (anise), white (wintergreen or peppermint), and black(licorice). The NASA Apollo Command modules were nicknamed “Gumdrops” because of it’s conical shape. Branch’s Candy holds the world record for largest gumdrop which weighed in a little larger than 10 lbs..

Candy Making Made Easy (Because It Is)
05_597345 ch01.qxd 7/29/05 7:08 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 Candy Making Made Easy (Because It Is) Recipes in In This Chapter This Chapter ᮣ Gearing up to make candy ᮣ Dream Dates ᮣ Identifying some great confections ᮣ Checking out special uses for your candy-making skills ne point I stress throughout this book is that candy making is pretty Oeasy. After you learn a few basics and prepare yourself and your envi- ronment according to my simple guidelines, all you have to do is follow a few procedures. I hate to say this, but if I can make candy, you can make candy. When I train new staff members in my candy shop, I observe that, at first, they’re hesitant and overly careful about handling the product, as if it were very fragile. I assure them that they will not hurt the candy by being aggres- sive. I don’t want them to be afraid of the candy, and you shouldn’t be afraid, either. Most products you make are quite tolerant, and you can stir them hard, slap them, or just generally be rough with them. Don’t be afraid to get your hands a little messy, and don’t worry about making a bit of a mess. Have fun, because you’re in charge. To make a point, when someone observes that I have a spot of chocolate on my face, I dab even more on and ask, “Where, here?” Then I touch another spot withCOPYRIGHTED a big dab and ask, “Or was it here?” MATERIAL Before I finish, I have chocolate all over my face, but the new person is relaxed, confident that I am crazy and not worried about making a mess.
