Healthy Homemade Gummies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 teaspoons of gelatin from grass-fed sources
02 -
1 cup of unsweetened fruit juice (or a mix of ⅔ cup pureed fruit and ⅓ cup fruit juice)
03 -
2 tablespoons of honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
# Instructions:
01 -
Blend fresh fruit into a smooth puree if you're using whole fruit. Pour it into a large spouted bowl or measuring cup. Mix in honey if you want it sweeter.
02 -
In a small pot, warm the juice over low-medium heat. Sprinkle in the gelatin and whisk non-stop as it heats. Let it warm gently for around 3 minutes, just until the gelatin melts fully and the liquid turns clear or cloudy.
03 -
If you're using fruit puree, stir the warm gelatin-juice blend into it. Whisk it all until every bit mixes smoothly.
04 -
Put a silicone mold on a baking tray, or use an 8x8 glass pan. Carefully pour the mixture into the molds or pan. Don’t overfill. Freeze it for 15 minutes for faster firming.
05 -
Take the molds out of the freezer and remove the gummies. Keep them in a container in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks.
# Notes:
01 -
Gather your tools and ingredients ahead of time. The process moves quickly once you start!
02 -
Always taste the mix before setting it to chill. If it’s not sweet or flavorful enough now, the gummies won’t improve later. Slightly sweeter is better than not sweet enough.
