Healthy Homemade Gummy Fruit Snacks
 
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup pureed strawberries
  • ½ cup organic apple juice
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 Tbsp raw honey
  • 4 Tbsp unflavored gelatin
Instructions
  1. Heat pureed strawberries, lemon juice, and honey in a saucepan, stirring with a whisk.
  2. Add gelatin to the cold apple juice and stir to a paste.
  3. Add the paste to the mixture in the saucepan, stirring constantly with a whisk to avoid clumps until it dissolves.
  4. Note: You can add the gelatin directly to the hot mixture, but I find it works better to allow it to "bloom" in a cold liquid before adding it.
  5. Stir until all the ingredients are melted and combined. Do not boil.
  6. Place molds on tray and pour the mixture into the molds. I like to wipe up excess with a paper towel, but it's not difficult to peel away the excess once they have set.
  7. Place in the freezer or the refrigerator until set. The candy should pop out of the silicone molds fairly easily.
