For each color you want:

• Coat a 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray. Place in refrigerator.
• Combine 1 cup sugar, applesauce, JELLO, unflavored gelatin and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Let stand for 1 minute.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
• Boil for 1 minute and then immediately pour into cold baking dish.
• Refrigerate until firm {about three hours should do it. I left mine in overnight.}
• Generously dust a cutting board with sugar.
• Loosen the sides of the gelatin with a spatula and invert onto cutting board.
• Use small, sharp cookie cutters to cut out gumdrops.
• Sprinkle sugar over a piece of waxed paper and place gumdrops on top of sugar. Let dry for about 8 hours or until slightly sticky.
• Roll in remaining sugar and store in an airtight container.
