Vegan Grapefruit “Gummie Worms”
7 steps
Prep:10minCook:40min
This was always a fun play on words for a quick and easy candied grapefruit peel. That being said, it’s as close as you can get to a sweet&sour gummie worm.
Best enjoyed fresh while still soft or you can leave them out to dry for a firmer crystallized peel.
