It’s fall! For me, the quintessential autumnal cartoon is Over the Garden Wall. Honestly, if you haven’t seen it, you MUST check it out. During their journey in the Unknown Greg and Wirt encounter little black turtles that seem to be evil, then seem not to be… it’s never entirely clear. What IS clear is that they are a perfect inspiration for a fruity, gummy treat! I present to you my Over the Garden Wall Gummy Turtles! To make the gummies will need: You’ll Need (for traditional gummies):
Let me show you how it’s done! For the pectin & gelatin gummies: 1. Bloom the gelatin & pectin: In a small bowl whisk together the gelatin and pectin until incorporate. In a another bowl power the 1/2 cup of fruit juice. Sprinkle the gelatin & pectin over the fruit juice whisk constantly. This will set up very quickly. If needed switch to a spatula. Let set while you prepare the sugar mixture. 2. Boil the sugar. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan add the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir to combine. Turn to medium-high heat and stir to dissolve sugar in water. Once the sugar is dissolved and has come to a boil stop stirring. Wash down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals. Add a candy thermometer and boil until mixture reaches 290F. 3. Combine sugar and gelatin mixtures. Remove sugar mixture from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin and pectin. Stir until all the pectin/gelatin has dissolved – this may take a minute. Then add a pinch of salt, candy flavoring, and black food coloring. Mix to combine. Pour gummy mixture into a heat-proof measuring cup. 4. Fill the molds. Carefully fill the candy molds and let gummiessit for at least 2 hours at room temperature or until fully set. Then, unmold and enjoy For Vegan Agar Agar Gummies:
To make the agar agar gummies – mix agar agar with fruit juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat until agar is melted and mixture comes to a boil. Stir constantly so agar doesn’t clump – about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add honey to taste, then add more flavoring if desired and black food coloring. Transfer to heat-proof measuring cup, then fill your mold. Set in fridge for 10-15 minutes. Unmold and enjoy! For Vegan Pate de Fruit Gummies: You will need:

Whats up with the black turtles in Over the Garden Wall?Patrick McHale described them as "an imperfection in the quilt" both metaphorically and literally: they are an intentionally unexplained mystery but, like some kind of allegory of inner darkness, they are seen where edelwood grows and warp the mind and body of whoever eats them.
What does a black turtle symbolize?The black turtle is said to bring good fortune, protection, and longevity. Turtles also signify perseverance and steadfastness.
What does the beast represent in Over the Garden Wall?The Beast is the main antagonist of Over the Garden Wall. He is the monster of The Unknown and is feared throughout it. His goal is to catch the brothers, Wirt and Gregory, and turn them into Edelwood trees in order to fuel his lantern.

. What was the point of Over the Garden Wall?Over the Garden Wall is a deconstruction and examination of children's stories and childhood as a whole. There are still good guys and bad guys, just not in the places we'd usually expect. Here, like in a Miyazaki movie, sometimes witches are A-OK, and skeletons don't really mean any harm.
