Anyone have a gummy recipe using pectin?

Didnt see a section specifically for cooking/infusing, so just posted here. Im trying to make gummy bears and needed gelatin, but caught hell trying to find it and ended up with pectin. Searching Google ive been unable to find a direct ratio for substituting pectin, and wondered if anyone here is familiar with it or has a recipe using it.

I see at least 5 options on amazon for gelatin
I no longer have prime so my orders have to be atleast $25 to qualify for free shipping otherwise the shipping is like $7. The last time i got gelatin from the store it was $1, so in my mind i cant justify paying 8-25× more.

Surely some stores in your region have gelatin in their baking sections.

I've used pectin regularly for jam but I'm not sure that it's going to do what you want it to...set up so firm that it becomes a solid. Your best bet if you're going to try is to really cook the eff out of the mix so that it comes as close to extra firm as you can get.

2 packs of gelatin 1 teaspoon guar gum and 1 box jello. And stir like a mofo lol.
