Serves 10

Ingredients

Fruit juice
1 cup (your choice of flavors, such as orange, apple, or berry)
Gelatin
1/4 cup (unflavored)
Honey
1/4 cup (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
Food coloring
as desired (optional)
Citric acid
1 teaspoon (for a tangy flavor, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the fruit juice, gelatin, and honey. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. If using, stir in the citric acid for a tangy kick.
  3. Remove from heat and add food coloring as desired, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. Pour the mixture into silicone candy molds or a greased baking dish, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the candy is firm to the touch.
  6. Once set, carefully remove the gummies from the molds or cut into desired shapes if using a baking dish.
  7. Enjoy your homemade gummy candy fresh, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Tips

  • 💡 Experiment with different fruit juice combinations for unique flavors.
  • 💡 For an extra touch, you can coat the gummies in a mixture of sugar and citric acid after they set for a sweet and sour experience.
  • 💡 Use silicone molds in fun shapes to make your candies visually appealing for kids and adults alike.
