Gummy candy with agar-agar, just like in the store
Description
This recipe is a base that can always be customized to taste. You can use any seasonal or frozen berries or fruits as the base. You can even create a mix of several flavors, for example. The amount of sugar depends directly on what you've chosen as the base. For strawberries or raspberries, you'll need very little; for more tart berries, increase the amount. By the way, sugar can be replaced with honey. Keep that in mind.
