I love these things and I would like to make them. What are they flavored with? I know it isn’t wine.

Thanks,  
Rob

[A recipe](https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/gummy-bears). Yes, it says gummi bears but the idea’s the same. The wine gum recipe on that site calls for using actual wine, though if you’re not opposed, I say go for it!

Wiki says the reds are usually strawberry or raspberry and the black is blackcurrant. So get those essential oils and use them to flavor your gelatin.
