Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Hi friends, I spoke with a customer rep two weeks ago who confirmed that all Farley's Fruit Snacks are gfcf. My son loves these -- he likes the Blue's Clues shapes as well as the Nickelodeon ones. -BJ in polis, MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Hi, Gerber makes a gerber graduate fruit snack that is made primarily with white grape juice. No artificial colors or flavors. We had to stop this because of the carageenan (my son is sensitive to it). I just bought some natural gummies from http://www.edwardandsons.com/ " > & Sons Trading Company, Inc. . When they get here I'll let everyone know if they are good :-) I'm crossing my fingers, because my son loves gummies too! April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummies Ingredients 3envelopes unflavored gelatin 1/2 cup Capri sun dry drink mix 4 T cranberry extract or black cherry extract or other flavoring 1/2 cup ice cold water 1/2 cup ice cold pear juice Mix powders in a saucepan, pour in 1/2 cup ice cold water & 1/2 cup pear juice while stirring. when all is mixed (you'll get a gelatinous appearance) turn heat onto medium, continue mixing until steam is rising (before boiling) pour into molds. Chill 15 minutes minimum. You can chill much longer... dip into dry drink mix or dry sweetner or even sweet rice flour to keep from sticking. Keep in frig. I use candy molds sprayed with a little oil spray. Be careful of temps as stated and most candy works better on a dry day. I use a few real marble tiles that I picked up at a home improvement store, it works great and I can wash and store them when not doing candy or pastry. --- Hope this works for you if you try it!!! I haven't tried it since my son doesn't like gummies. Let us know how it goes if you decide to try it! Kandel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
