Pink Lemonade Gummies
This post would conclude my ‘Think Pink’ Breast Cancer Awareness series. I would like to again, encourage all those who have not yet done a self check to please do so.
If you are like the ‘old’ me, you might have this notion that ‘what you don’t know won’t kill you’, right? It always seemed to me that people died not long after they found out they had cancer. Some would be gone within even a month of discovering the disease. And I convinced myself that maybe if they never found out, they might have lived longer.
For years, I believed so much in this, and I never did a self check. Partly because I was also scared of the unknown. Thank God I am older and hopefully wiser. I now check myself every month unfailingly because it is the sensible thing to do and because it can save my life.Please check! I cannot emphasize it enough. It is important and it could save your life.
If you would like to support the fight against Breast Cancer, there is a run/walk organised by Run For the Cure Africa . Please check out the link and register if you can.
Today’s treat is simple and playful. It requires a silicone mold but if you don’t have one, you could just use a glass dish. They are gummies. very similar to the texture of Haribo and Gummy bears. And you can make them with any type of juice. If you have kids, this is something fun you can make with them using their favorite juice. If you are using a glass dish, once the gummies have set you can use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes.
Hopefully yours wont be as messy as mine.
I took a cup of the pink lemonade from my previous post, added some sugar, added gelatin, heated it up and poured it in my silicone mold. That is all! You can substitute the pink lemonade with any drink you like but you would have to taste to check for sweetness. Aren’t they so pretty???
Gummies!!!
