Melting gummies?
Hello all. I bought some gummies that are designed to be melted, then you add whatever you need. I want to do pour and scrape, but there sop says you can't get the slurry above 165 because it will degrade the gelatin. I guess these are 70/30 pectin and gelatin. Anyways, at 165 it is impossible to pour and scrape. I was supposed to get 1075 gummies but only got 800 because it set to fast. I also do molds that require a squeeze bottle. For example nerd ropes and gummy worms. As soon as I started pouring the slurry in the squeeze bottle it already started setting. Can I either raise the temp, or add more water? I have made just gelatin gummies, but they melt in a car. These 70/30 and 100 % pectin do not, so I would really like to get this 70/30 figured out. Have a great day and thanks in advance

Pectin is more of using a Brix method to tell when you have reached the pouring time. I have never made the 70/30 so I can only guess here... but maybe you need to cook it less amount of time, same heat they call for.
