Hello Susan,
See below.

Candy Gumdrops
Ingredients :
1 (1 3/4 oz.) pkg. powdered fruit pectin
3/4 c. water
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
2 tsp. strawberry extract

Sugar for coating
Preparation :
Combine fruit pectin, water and baking soda in medium saucepan.
(This mixture will foam.) Combine sugar and corn syrup in a large
saucepan. Place both pans on stove over high heat. Cook, stirring
alternately until foam disappears from fruit pectin mixture and
sugar mixture boils rapidly, about 8 minutes. Pour pectin mixture
into boiling sugar mixture in a thin stream, until all pectin
mixture is added. Then, stirring constantly, boil 1 minute longer.
Remove from heat. Stir in strawberry extract and a drop of red food
coloring. Immediately pour mixture into 8x8x2 inch pan. Let stand
at room temperature for 3 hours; do not refrigerate, or until candy
is cool and firm. Cut gum drops into cubes with knife that is
