Homemade Gumdrops

2-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1-1/3 cups applesauce
2 packages (3 ounces each) red or green gelatin
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon lemon juice

In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups sugar, applesauce, red or green gelatin,
unflavored gelatin and lemon juice; let stand for 1 minute. Bring to a boil over
medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Immediately pour into a cold
11-in. x 7-in. pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until
firm. With a spatula, loosen gelatin from sides or pan. To remove, invert onto
waxed paper. Using kitchen scissors or small sharp cookie cutters dipped on hot
water, cut into 1-in. squares or shapes. Place on waxed paper. Dry at room
temperature for about 8 hours or until slightly sticky. Roll in remaining sugar.
Store in an airtight container.

Yield: About 1-3/4 pounds.
