What the original account establishes
These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- The gummies were cut up first; four boxes had been bought but only 2.5 were used. The brown ones were boiled, with an immense smell, and stirred until there were no lumps and a gooey consistency, then the syrup was poured through a sieve into a heatproof jug and through a funnel into a Coca-Cola bottle submerged in water so it would not change shape, and left to set overnight. The next day the white bits were boiled up, more added with hard stirring until lump-free and dripping off the spoon, poured into the submerged bottle on top and chilled overnight; the bottle was cut in half and the sweet placed on a tray covered in greaseproof paper.
