Ingredients
Orange Homemade Gummy Bears Recipe
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Strawberry Homemade Gummy Bears Recipe
- ⅔ cup pureed strawberries (make sure they’re thawed to room temp if using frozen)
- ⅓ cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Blueberry Homemade Gummy Bears Recipe
- ½ cup pureed blueberries (allow to thaw to room temp if using frozen)
- ½ cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Instructions
-
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.
Notes
You can also pour the mixture into a baking dish greased with coconut oil if you don’t have silicone molds. After the mixture is set up, cut with a knife or use cookie cutters to make any shape you like.
