Ingredients:  
vegetable oil
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar (plus more for coating)
¾ cup Kirkland Signature Newman's Own grape juice
1-1¾ oz. pkg. powdered fruit pectin
½ tsp. baking soda

Directions:
Directions:
Line 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan with aluminum foil. Brush with oil. Combine corn syrup and sugar in a 1½ quart saucean. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Then cook without stirring until a candy thermometer registers 300ºF, or a small amount dropped into very cold water separates into hard but not brittle threads. Combine grape juice, pectin and baking soda in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly until it boils (it will be foamy). Reduce heat and slowly add the hot sugar mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly (1-2 minutes); remove from the heat and stir in food color. Pour into the prepared pan. Let stand 2 minutes, then skim off foam. Let stand uncovered at room temperature for 24 hours. Lift from the pan and remove foil. Cut into ¾" pieces, dipping the knife or melon baller in sugar to prevent sticking. Roll the pieces in sugar. Let stand uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 72 gumdrops.
