Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) 100% fruit juice
- 8 teaspoons (40 grams) grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
Optional Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey (if not already used)
Preparation Enhancers:
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) fruit puree (alternative to fruit juice)
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) 100% fruit juice (alternative to full juice amount)
Instructions
- Transform fresh or frozen fruit into a smooth puree using a blender, ensuring a uniform consistency for optimal flavor and texture.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm juice over medium-low heat, gradually whisking gelatin into the liquid until completely dissolved and the mixture turns translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
- Carefully merge the warm gelatin-infused juice with the fruit puree, thoroughly incorporating both components to create a homogeneous mixture.
- Select a silicone mold or shallow glass pan, positioning it on a stable baking sheet for easy transfer. Delicately pour the liquid mixture into the molds, avoiding overfilling to maintain clean edges.
- Transfer the filled molds to the freezer for a quick 15-minute setting period, allowing the gummies to firm up and develop their signature texture.
- Extract the gummies from the molds, gently releasing each piece. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate, where they will remain fresh and delectable for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Customize fruit selection by choosing ripe, sweet fruits like strawberries, mango, or mixed berries for maximum natural flavor.
- Adjust sweetness levels by experimenting with honey, maple syrup, or stevia depending on dietary preferences and health goals.
- Use high-quality, unflavored gelatin from grass-fed sources for better nutritional profile and smoother texture in gummies.
- Consider using silicone molds with various shapes to make the gummies more fun and appealing, especially for children or picky eaters.
