Homemade Healthy Gummies Recipes

HOMEMADE HEALTHY GUMMIES

Steps:

• Place the orange juice in a small pot on high heat until it simmers.
• Add the gelatin while whisking until it's dissolved. Then, add the honey if using.
• Pour into gummy bear molds (use an eye dropper for less mess!) OR pour into a small sided container.
• Place in the fridge until set - about 1-2 hours.
• Remove from molds, or slice, and DEVOUR!

EASY AND HEALTHY HOMEMADE GUMMIES

Steps:

• If you're starting with whole fruit, make fruit puree by blending fruit in a blender. Then measure fruit puree into the larger measure cup/bowl first. Add honey if using.
• Measure juice into a small sauce pan and turn the heat on medium low. Add the gelatin and whisk constantly. Bring the mixture to an almost simmer - you want it to be definitely warm, but not hot, to the touch - abut 3 minutes. The liquid should be opaque or clear and the gelatin should be completely dissolved before proceeding.
• Add the juice/gelatin mixture to the puree (if using) in the bowl/cup with the spout. Whisk to combine juice/gelatin with puree and/or honey, if using.
• Place the mold on the baking sheet. Pour mixture into the molds, but do not overfill them. Alternatively, pour the mixture into the 8×8 glass pan.
• Place the entire baking sheet with the mold on top, or the 8×8 glass pan, in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Pull the gummies out from the freezer and pop out of the molds. Store in a container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

HOMEMADE HEALTHY GUMMIES

Steps:

• Remove from molds. They pop right out. If you used the loaf pan, cut your gelatin into small squares.
• Keep your homemade healthy gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. If you leave them outside they will last but I recommend storing them in the refrigerator.

HEALTHY GUMMIES

Steps:

• Begin by placing the silicone molds on a baking tray. This makes it easier to transport them into the fridge. Also make sure you have a flat area in your fridge to place the gummy bears once they're poured in the molds.
• Make each flavor separately.
• Bring 1/3 cup fruit juice, 2 Tbsp of honey and 2 tsp of either stevia sweetener or granulated sugar to a boil over a medium high heat in a small saucepan or pot.
• Set aside to cool for 3 minutes. It should still be warm enough to melt the gelatin, but not hot enough to weaken the setting power of the gelatin.
• In a small container or bowl, bloom the unflavored gelatin by mixing together 1 Tbsp of gelatin with 1 Tbsp of water until the gelatin is fully dissolved. The mixture should become quick thick as you stir it.
• As soon as the gelatin and water are mixed together, add it into the slightly cooled juice mixture.
• As the gelatin sits it can firm up and become difficult to mix in. If this happens, don't worry. It should still be able to dissolve into the juice mixture, but it will take longer to melt / dissolve full. Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved before filling the molds, or else tiny bits of gelatin can clog up the eye dropper.
• Use an eye-dropper (they come with most small silicone molds, or you can order them here) to carefully fill the silicone molds. Be sure do this as soon as the gelatin is fully mixed into the juice mixture. If you let it sit and continue to cool, the mixture will start to set.
• Carefully place the molds in the fridge for 30 minutes, then pop them out of the molds and enjoy!
• Make as many batches as you want with different flavors of juice. You can also combine two different juices! I made five using apple juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice, pomegranate juice, and black cherry juice.
• Leftover gummies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
