Ingredients
Scale
Sour Apple Gummies
- 1 cup Unsweetened Apple Juice
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1/2 tsp Matcha Green Tea Powder
- 4 Tbsp Grass-Fed Gelatin
Sour Watermelon Gummies
- 1 cup Watermelon Juice
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 4 Tbsp Grass-Fed Gelatin
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients for each flavor separately to ensure smooth preparation and avoid cross-contamination.
- Combine Ingredients in Pot: For each flavor, mix the lemon juice, respective fruit juice (apple or watermelon), honey, and grass-fed gelatin together in a pot. Stir well until the gelatin begins to dissolve.
- Let Gelatin Bloom: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes. This resting time lets the gelatin bloom, thickening the mixture.
- Heat to Dissolve Gelatin: Place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth again, but avoid boiling.
- Pour into Molds: Using the droppers provided with your silicone molds or a funnel, carefully pour the gelatin mixture into the molds, distributing evenly.
- Refrigerate: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour to allow the gummies to set firm.
- Remove and Coat: Once set, remove the gummies from molds gently. Toss them lightly in vitamin C powder for an extra sour kick right before eating. For gummies not eaten immediately, do not coat until ready to serve to prevent clumping.
Notes
- Ensure the gelatin does not boil as this can affect the texture.
- Use grass-fed gelatin for better quality and flavor.
- Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness.
- The matcha powder in sour apple gummies adds antioxidants and a subtle earthy note.
- Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Vitamin C powder enhances sourness and shelf life but is optional.
