Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup juice, of choice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup unflavored grass-fed gelatin
Instructions
- Mix Gelatin and Juice: Add the juice to a saucepan and gently sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the juice without stirring. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom without heating.
- Add Honey and Warm: Stir in the honey, then place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm the mixture gently, ensuring it does not boil, until the gelatin and honey dissolve completely and the mixture becomes liquid.
- Pour into Molds: Remove from heat and carefully pour the liquid gelatin mixture into silicone gummy bear molds using a glass measuring cup to avoid bubbles, rather than droppers.
- Set at Room Temperature: Let the filled molds sit out on the counter for 1 hour to start setting before refrigerating.
- Chill to Firm Up: Place the molds in the refrigerator for a few hours until the gummies are fully set and firm.
- Serve and Store: Pop the gummies out of the molds and enjoy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice gently rather than dumping it all in at once to avoid lumps.
- Add a splash of lemon juice for a tart flavor.
- Avoid juices like papaya, pineapple, kiwi, or mango, as their enzymes can prevent gelatin from setting.
- Maple syrup can be used as a honey substitute if preferred.
- Fill the silicone molds fully for better-shaped gummies.
- Place molds on a cookie sheet when refrigerating to catch any spills.
