50 grams powdered gelatin
160 grams sugar (cook to 115-120℃ / 245℉)
60 grams water (for sugar)
200 grams glucose (or other very thick inverted sugar syrup)
10 gram citric acid
1/4 teaspoon candy flavoring
Step 1
Defrost your berries and separate the fruit from the blackberry juice. You can use the solids to make fruit filling or freeze to use later.

Combine the juice with the powdered gelatin and allow to absorb for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Combine the sugar and the water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the steam begins to disappear and the mixture begins to look thick and bubbly (around 145ºF) turn off the heat.
Step 4
Add in the gelatin and blackberry juice mixture in chunks, the glucose or corn syrup, citric acid and the candy flavoring.
Step 5
Mix until fully melted.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a squeeze bottle and pipe into your desired molds.
Step 7
Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before unmolding.
