Healthy Gummy Bears Recipes

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY GUMMIES

Steps:

• Add fruit juice to a sauce pan, and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to "bloom" for 5 minutes.
• Turn to medium-heat, and stir slowly with whisk until gelatin begins to dissolve.
• Add in honey until fully dissolved.
• Remove from heat, and fill gummy molds with dropper.
• Place in the freezer for 10 minutes, pop out gummies, and refill. Repeat this process until there is no remaining juice. *note: if gummy mixture hardens before next batch, simply reheat on low until melted, and continue the process.
• Store in fridge, and enjoy!

HEALTHY GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Lay out your molds on a baking sheet and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine the juice and honey. Turn the heat to low and whisk the ingredients together.
• Slowly, add the gelatin to the saucepan one tablespoon at a time, whisking the ingredients to help the gelatin to dissolve.
• Let the mixture come to a simmer and then turn off the heat. Stir in the lime juice, if you are using.
• Use a dropper to divide the mixture into the gummy bear molds. Place the molds into the refrigerator or freezer to set.
• Once the gummy bears have set, remove them from the molds and store them in a tightly-sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except gelatin in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir with a whisk.
• Gradually whisk gelatin into the mixture, stirring constantly. (Avoid dumping gelatin into the pan all at once, which will cause big globs of gelatin to remain in the finished product.)
• Continue heating over medium-low heat until all ingredients are well combined and gelatin is completely melted. (The mixture will change from a grainy, jelly-like consistency to a more glassy, smooth consistency when gelatin is all melted.)
• Place gummy bear mold on a cookie sheet (which makes it easier to move without spilling once filled). Pour mixture into silicone mold and place in freezer for about 20-30 minutes.
• Pop homemade gummy bears out of mold and store them in an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks.

HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Combine the fruit juice or lemonade, gelatin and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, about 1 minute (make sure there is no undissolved sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan). If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup.
• Put the gummy bear molds on a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until the mixture sets, about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

HOMEMADE SUGAR-FREE GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan almost halfway with water; bring to a boil.
• Measure 1/3 cup cold water in a glass measuring cup. Dissolve gelatin in the cold water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in stevia powder and soft drink mix.
• Place measuring cup in the boiling water. Stir gelatin mixture until syrupy.
• Place candy molds on a baking sheet. Remove gelatin mixture from boiling water and immediately fill molds using a small syringe.
• Chill gelatin mixture until set, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Remove from molds.
