Description
Make yummy homemade gummies with this easy recipe! Fun to create with kids, these treats use simple ingredients like fruit juice and AGAR AGAR powder. They’re a healthy, customizable snack that’s sure to delight the whole family.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups of FRUIT JUICE (apple or grape recommended)
- ½ cup of water
- ¼ cup of gelatin powder (or for a vegan option, use 1 tablespoon of AGAR AGAR POWDER, which I recommend)
- ½ cup of granulated sugar or honey
- Food coloring (I use AMAZON FRESH, ASSORTED FOOD COLORING)
- 1 tsp of citric acid (optional, I use MILLIARD CITRIC ACID)
- Extra sugar for coating (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Molds by lightly greasing them. You can also use GUMMY WORM MOLDS for added fun.
- Combine Juice and Water in a saucepan.
- Add Gelling Agent by sprinkling gelatin or AGAR AGAR POWDER over the liquid and let it sit.
- Heat Gently over medium-low heat, stirring until the powder dissolves.
- Mix in Sweeteners and Colors by adding sugar or honey, then food coloring if you like.
- Fill the Molds or any container you’re using with the mixture.
- Chill in the Fridge for at least 2 hours to let the gummies set.
- Unmold Your Gummies once they’re firm. If you used a pan, you can cut them into shapes.
- Optional Sugar Coating can be added by rolling the gummies in extra sugar or sugar-citric acid mix.
Notes
- Juice Choice: Remember, some juices like pineapple don’t work well for gelling. Stick to apple or grape for the best results.
- Agar Agar Tip: If you’re using AGAR AGAR POWDER, less is more. A little goes a long way compared to regular gelatin.
- Mold Fun: Using GUMMY WORM MOLDS makes this super fun. Be gentle when taking the gummies out.
- Storing: Keep these gummies in the fridge in an airtight container. They stay good for about a week.
