Step 3

How to make worm-shaped marmalade
There are special silicone molds for worms. They can be ordered from various marketplaces, such as AliExpress, or purchased at bakery stores. If you don't have molds, cocktail straws are a great substitute.
Step 8

We make the second part of the marmalade with a different dye in the same sequence and add the second half of the tubes.

Step 9

Place them in the refrigerator for 24 hours to stabilize. Then dip the tubes in boiling water for just a few seconds, wipe off the excess water, and squeeze out the worms.

Step 10

Roll the marmalade in cornstarch. To play with the flavor, you can use a mixture of powdered sugar and citric acid instead of cornstarch. The citric acid should be ground to a powder beforehand.

    This is a great recipe. The marmalade turned out delicious. I used cherry juice (not store-bought) and added not one, but three pinches of citric acid, and it turned out delicious! I'm definitely saving this recipe; I recommend it to everyone!

    I understand that I probably should have thought to seal the tubes. But secondly, with what? And secondly, I didn't. The mixture just poured into the glass. I had to frantically search for the molds. I knocked off my grade for that. Otherwise, everything was fine.
