Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fruit juice (of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup gelatin (preferably grass-fed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Measure and add the fruit juice and honey to a small saucepan on the stovetop. Whisk the mixture to combine evenly, then bring it to a light simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add Gelatin: Once the mixture begins to simmer, remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly and evenly sprinkle the gelatin into the warm juice mixture while whisking thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure smooth blending.
  3. Mix Optional Add-Ins: If desired, whisk in any additional flavorings or supplements to customize your gummy bears at this point.
  4. Fill Molds: Using a dropper or spoon, carefully fill the gummy bear molds with the liquid mixture. Be sure to fill each cavity evenly for consistent gummy sizes.
  5. Set Gummies: Place the filled molds into the refrigerator or freezer and allow them to chill for about 30 minutes or until the gummy bears are firm and set.
  6. Serve and Store: Pop the gummies out of the molds carefully and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use grass-fed gelatin to enhance the nutritional value and improve the texture of the gummies.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option, but gelatin would need to be replaced with agar agar to keep it vegan.
  • Experiment with different fruit juices such as orange, grape, or mixed berry to vary flavors.
  • For firmer gummies, chill them in the freezer for a faster setting time.
  • Keep gummies refrigerated to maintain their texture and freshness.
