DIRECTIONS:
- Prepare your molds by lightly greasing them with a neutral oil like canola or using non-stick spray. If you don’t have molds, you can pour the mixture into a shallow pan and cut into shapes later.
- In a small saucepan, combine the fruit juice and water. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the liquid and let it sit for a few minutes to “bloom.” The mixture should become somewhat solid.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not let it boil as high heat can affect the gelling ability.
- Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. If you’re using honey, you can add it off the heat to preserve its nutrients.
- If you want to add food coloring or citric acid, do so now. You can split the mixture into different bowls to make multiple colors.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared molds or pan. Use a dropper for precision if needed.
- Allow the gummies to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once the gummies are set, if you’ve used a pan, cut them into your desired shapes.
- Optional: Roll the gummies in granulated sugar or a mix of sugar and citric acid for a sour coating.
- Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for up to a week.
Notes:
- For clearer gummies, use white grape juice or apple juice.
- Experiment with different flavors by using different types of juice and adding extracts or zest.
- If you prefer vegan gummies, use agar-agar powder instead of gelatin, but note that the texture will be slightly different.
- These homemade gummies can be a fun treat to make with kids. They can choose their favorite flavors and help with mixing.
