Method
- Add the fruit juice to a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until warm but not hot, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice. Then whisk or stir in the gelatin or agar agar for a few minutes until fully dissolved
- To make a single-color gummy, transfer the mixture to a single bowl. To make multi-colored gummies, divide the mixture among multiple bowls. Add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl until the desired color is reached. This works best when using a clearer juice, such as fruit punch or apple juice. For thicker juices like mango you may not need food coloring.
- To make a single-color gummy, use a dropper to fill the mold. To make multi-colored gummies, use 2 droppers to simultaneously add 2 colors on opposite sides to the silicone mold. (see video for reference )Note: If you don’t have a candy mold, you can also use an ice cube tray or pour the mixture into the bottom of a food storage container and cut into cubes once set.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
Notes
For a chewy gummy, use 2.5 tablespoons gelatin. For a firmer gummy use 3-4 tablespoons gelatin.
