I tried making soft jujubes today and so far they are still not hard despite being in the freezer for 3 hours.
This is the recipe I used:
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup light corn syrup
6 oz Certo
Fruit Punch flavoring
Red and Yellow food coloring
I combined the sugar, water, light corn syrup, and Certo in a heavy pot and put it to Medium heat. Then I started stirring.
The next part of the recipe was not specific. This is what it said: Cook for 10 minutes until there is no foam. Then add the coloring and flavor.
I cooked it for the first 10 minutes and it was not foaming but did start to boil.
I took it off the heat after 14 minutes and added the flavoring and coloring.
Then I poured the mixture into my molds which I put into the freezer. It's been 3 hours and they are still slightly goey.
I know that in making hard candy I get the mixture to 300 before I take it off the heat, but I wasn't sure if there was a specific temperature I need to get the Soft Jujubes to.
I have just recently started getting into making candy and different chocolate products and I have been having a great time! If any one has any suggestions about what I did wrong, I would definitely appreciate some help!
Thanks!!
