Ingredients
- 1/3 cup fruit juice (apple, orange, cranberry, grape) – 80g
- 2 Tbsp honey – 42g
- 2 tsp (1 packet) stevia or granulated sugar (optional) – 4g
- 2 1/2 tsp (1 envelope) unflavored gelatin – 7g
Instructions
- Mix the Liquid Ingredients: In a small saucepan, pour the fruit juice of your choice and stir in the honey and stevia or sugar if using. Heat gently over low heat until the honey dissolves completely, but do not let it boil.
- Add Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the warm juice mixture and whisk continuously until the gelatin has fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour into Molds: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds or a shallow flat pan to set.
- Chill to Set: Place the molds or pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the gummies are firm and set.
- Remove and Store: Once set, pop the gummies out of the molds or cut into pieces if set in a pan. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- You can use any 100% fruit juice according to your taste preference.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar if preferred.
- Stevia or sugar is optional depending on your sweetness choice.
- Make sure not to boil the mixture after adding gelatin to maintain the gelling property.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal or line your pan with parchment paper.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by using agar-agar instead of gelatin.
