Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans

I found the recipe for these jelly beans on eHow.



Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup water
8 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 oz gelatin
4 cup juice
Cornstarch

Mix together sugar, water and gelatin in a saucepan.
Heat up the mixture at medium heat while stirring until the mixture reaches 230 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes about 25 min. The mixture is not allowed to get any hotter because then the jelly will get hard. Have a bucket of ice water ready to when the temperature reaches 230.
Stirrer in the juice. Pour drops of jelly on to a pieces of parchment paper. Let the jelly beans harden for 4-6 hours.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the jelly beans and leave until dry. Once in a while lift the jelly beans some the bottom gets cornstarch. My jelly beans toke 2 days to dry.

Shell:
1/2 cup boiling water
4 cups sugar
Colour

Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water. It's easies to use a bowl with a lid. When the water is cold stir in the colour.
Put in the jelly bean and move the bowl in circular motions until most of the liquid is gone.
Put the jelly beans on parchment paper and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until hard. If some jelly beans is still wet in the bottom then just turn them around and leave until hard.
