Pectin vs. Gelatin in Candy Making: What's the Difference and When to Use Each

Exploring the Candy Landscape

Join us on a sweet journey into the heart of candy making, where pectin and gelatin play starring roles. But what makes them distinct, and how can you use them to create mouth-watering candies?

Pectin: The Plant-Based Wonder

Pectin is a plant-based agent, ideal for vegan and vegetarian treats. It's great for softer, jelly-like candies. It works best with acidic and sugary mixtures, perfect for fruit-flavored treats.

Pectin Candy Recipe:

• 2 cups fruit juice
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons pectin
• Dolce Foglia oil-soluble flavor (e.g., strawberry) for enhanced taste

Gelatin: The Go-To for Gummies

Gelatin, derived from animal collagen, is the secret behind chewy, elastic candies. It's versatile, allowing for a range of textures.

Gelatin Candy Recipe:

• 2 cups water or fruit juice
• ½ cup gelatin
• 1 cup sugar
• Dolce Foglia oil-soluble flavor (e.g., mango) for a robust flavor profile
