Picture the dog days of summer back when you were a kid. A glorious time of no obligations—biking around town, rockin’ your favorite worn-out sneakers, listening to quality tunes about Jack and Diane or me and Julio or the money and problems you didn’t have yet. When you did come into some cash, you’d rush over to the corner store and stuff your pockets with as much cheap candy as you could get your grubby little hands on, then spend a lazy afternoon in the shade of a big, leafy tree, throwing back pound after pound of melty gummy worms. Lying in the grass, cool blades between your toes, you probably thought, “I never want to grow up.”Well, it turns out growing up wasn’t so bad, was it? Sure, you now know better than to eat so much candy you give yourself a stomachache—but that just makes you more discerning about the candy you do eat. So let us introduce you to wine gummies: boozy little treats that will satisfy both your inner child and the sophisticated adult you’ve become. Thanks to sous vide, this recipe is as blithe and uncomplicated as the summer days of yore, requiring no hard-to-master techniques or hours spent sweating over the stovetop—just mix up your ingredients and let Joule Turbo do the rest. So go ahead and gather your favorite grown-ups for a seriously breezy day of making—and eating—wine-infused goodies.
