Would love to see this done with allulose or inulin as sorbitol has a pretty high GI rating, is hard to find and expensive, and can be disruptive for many people's digestive systems.
noted!
Finally!! I wrote about sugar free gummies without gelatin!!!
Kosher and Keto!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy!
So very, very helpful to have sugar free /low carb details re the alternative sugar reactions when cooking for my husband who has T2 diabetes... thank you! SF soft caramels, nougat, or licorice would be a super special treat to be able to make for him. 🥰 ps we really enjoyed the Serious Keto episode, too!
Glad we can help out your husband!
Thank you so much. Wow, how fast my wish came true.
You are so welcome
Always educational
Thank you!
I would love to see a licorice candy, of course sugar free, very low to no carbs! Although black licorice is my favorite I would be very grateful to see most any flavor made. Ty
Noted!
Nondairy caramel/toffee/butterscotch! Butterfinger style candy! Peanut butter cup! Please!
Noted thanks!
We do have a great plant-based Snickers recipe
blog.modernistpantry.com/recipes/plant-based-snackers-candy-bar/
This is great! Thanks for the recipe (and all the hard work perfecting it)! I'm hoping you'll do sugar free chewy caramels and crunchy toffee. I would like to try and make cinnamon gummies. Will cinnamon oil work as the flavoring? If so do I omit the citric acid?
we recommend cinnamon flavoring
Hi there! From Cape Town would love to try these! 😊
Hope you enjoy!
I want to make these same gummys but with fresh fruit mash/juice from my own harvest.
Enjoy!
I’m crazy about black licorice! I’d love to see a recipe for that.
Thanks for the idea!
what's the shelf life??
Hey! 👋 I would love to have a good sugar-free nougat recipe so I could make keto 3 Musketeers-style candies. (Milky Way and Snickers, as well) Thank y'all so much for these wonderful recipes!!
❤💙💜 ~Lana
Great idea!
The only concern I have is xylitol is fatal for those who have dogs. Too fearful to have xylitol in the home. Bummer!!! Love your videos and info. I was wonder if taffy is doable?
thanks for the suggestion! We understand the concern about xylitol and dogs but it is the sweetener that works the best.
What is the brand on that induction plate? I have not seen one that has a digital probe attached to it and it looks great!
The Control Freak modernistpantry.com/products/the-control-freak.html
Great recipe ….try sugar free hard candy ….maybe caramel or toffee …also would a stevia/erythritol blend work with this recipe ?….as it’s the best combination which doesn’t spike blood sugars
Great ideas!
Have you done chocolate? I want to see an emulsifier and also sugar sub used in making chocolate/chocolate candy. TY
not yet!
@@Modernist_Pantry Great. Therefore, I make the formal request. TY
Could you do a side by side comparison of Sugar free gummies, their firmness/textures pros and cons. If I am not worried about animal products what is the best option?
If you're doing a sugar free gummy this is the only method we've found that really works so there's nothing for us to compare it to.
@@Modernist_Pantry ok thanks. I've seen other people mixing different gums with Gelatin and sometimes it's just tough to tell what works best. Plus you are wasting ingredients in the search. That's why I value channels that reply to questions. Thanks again.
I'm having trouble getting the right chewy texture in sugar free gummies. how do i do that without using sweeteners like allulose that cause a laxative effect? Any ideas on an alternative sweetener.
@@richardmccullough7422 I enjoy allulose but as well too much does cause "problems"...that is why I still blend with liquid Stevie or sucralose to keep up the sweet but lessen the GI impact...it also keeps portion size under control. Haven't found sorbitol yet so I don't know how that effects me.
Does it have a sugar /sour coating btw? Thanks.
They have a sorbitol dusting
You can actually mix a sweetener with a bit of citric acid and then coat the outside which will give it a sourness outside of candy like what sour candy's are like in the store
Would love to see the softer jelly type gummies, orange slices were my favorites. And does that sorbitol sweetener spike blood sugar? I am not familiar with that sugar substitute.
It's hard to get that soft texture, but maybe we'll R&D more in the future. Sorbitol is a good alternative to sugar for people with diabetes as it significantly reduces the rise in blood glucose and the insulin response associated with the ingestion of glucose.
Hi Scott! can we sub out the xylitol and sorbitol for an all-maltitol gummy?
You should be able to since the pectin is gelling with the calcium and not the sweetener.
You may have to tweak the recipe for texture and sweetness.
@@Modernist_Pantry Thanks - I'll keep you updated!
Can we use maple syrup??
only if you diluted it
How about sugar-free, plant-based, caramel toffee - kind of like Werther's Original?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Do you ha a black licorice flavor drops?
We do! modernistpantry.com/products/culinary-crystals-licorice-flavor-drops.html
@@Modernist_Pantry Oh yeah❗😋 Happy dance💃I just stuck these in my cart 🤗
Does this mean these would melt if left in a warm place- so not stable shelf life?
the pectin is thermoirreversible so they will not melt. But they might get tacky and unpleasant if they are left in very hot temps.
@@Modernist_Pantry Would that still happen with a carnuba wax coating?
Yeah SF candy❗❗ You've made my Keto heart sing💝 Now onto...black licorice and my Hot Pepper jelly 😋 I know it will happen🧐
Thanks for the suggestions!
Run the numbers. Sugar free but nowhere near low carb.
What’s up with those MACARONS though? Has there been any progress with counteracting the low amount of soy milk powder?
Not yet unfortunately
Sugar free peanut brittle or pecan pralines!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
yes keto black licorice!! no wheat!! Puuuuleeeze!!!
Noted!
What's the recipe you were making???
blog.modernistpantry.com/gummy-course/sugar-free-pectin-gummies-lm/
sugar free caramels!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'd like to see a sugar free Sugar Daddy Carmel lollipop. Thank you
Noted!
Wow & yum
What about using erythritol
You can, we don't prefer it
Sadly, pectin has quite a few carbs. I was hoping since they were sugar free i could try them. 😥 they do look good though.
Pectin only contributes 12g of carbs to the entire recipe which is about 100 gummies. That means 10 gummies would only have a little over a gram of carbs from the pectin.
@@Modernist_Pantry That is helpful to know! When I looked up the carbs it said 45 carbs per 1.75 ounces. How mnny ounces in this recipe? Thank you so much! Really hoping I can make this for my hubby!!!
Sorbitol.. might as well just use sugar.. raises blood sugar the same.. 😭
Actually, it doesn't. Sorbitol raises blood sugar but at a significantly lower level than table sugar.
Please help!!! I bought a package of your powdered sorbitol. It doesn't list the amount of sugar alcohol per serving. I always track my sugar alcohol intake for health reasons. How much sugar alcohol is in each serving?
Sorbitol is 100% sugar alcohol.
Sugar free redvines
Thanks for the idea!
A keto version of Caramel, or Chocolate Flavoured Caramel chews.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@Modernist_Pantry I am glad I found your channel! I like the keto/low sugar options particularly
Milk chocolate pecan turtles please.
noted!
@@Modernist_Pantry thanks for your consideration as Russell Stovers taste pretty good, but the so called sugar free maltitol isn't so great.
I think you posted the wrong burb in the show notes.
Fixed!
