 Heat a pot of water on the stove.

 Put gelatin in 1/2 cup of water and let stand for 5 mins. I use a glass measuring cup.

 Place bowl of gelatin into pan of hot water and heat until dissloved.

 Add corn syrup and cook for about 1 minute.

 Add melted shortening, cook until completely mixed.

 Pour mixture into a 4 1/2 qt mixing bowl, add powered sugar,and the Tylose, mix with a dough hook   until completely mixed.

Add color if desired.

Place the GP in plastic wrap and place in a plastic bag and let rest over night or for a least 24 hours.
