📋 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fruit juice (such as apple, grape, or orange juice) 🍎🍇🍊
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness) 🍯
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder 🌿
  • Optional: 1-2 drops of natural food coloring 🌈

For Flavor Variations:

  • For a citrus twist, use lemon or lime juice. 🍋
  • For berry gummies, use pureed strawberries or raspberries. 🍓

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Juice Base:

  1. Heat the juice:
  • Pour 1 cup of fruit juice into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling.
  1. Sweeten the juice:
  • Stir in the honey or maple syrup until well dissolved.

2. Add the Gelatin:

  1. Bloom the gelatin:
  • Slowly sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm juice mixture while whisking continuously to avoid clumping. Let the mixture sit for a minute or two to allow the gelatin to bloom.
  1. Dissolve the gelatin:
  • Stir the mixture over low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  1. Optional:
  • If you want colorful gummies, add a few drops of natural food coloring and stir well.

3. Mold the Gummies:

  1. Pour into molds:
  • Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into silicone molds or a shallow baking dish. You can use fun shapes like bears, stars, or hearts.
  1. Chill:
  • Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the gummies are firm and set.

4. Serve:

  1. Remove from molds:
  • Once set, gently pop the gummies out of the molds.
  1. Store:
  • Store the homemade gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
