0.5cupsGrass-fed gelatin powder(I use Great Lakes brand)
2-3tbspHoney
Instructions
Place water, lemon juice and bluberries in a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add up to 1/4 cup more water during this step if mixture is extra thick.
Pour contents of blender into a saucepan and add the gelatin and honey to the mixture. Whisk to combine.
Heat contents of saucepan over low heat, whisking until mixture thins and all ingredients are incorporated.
Remove from heat and pour into silicone molds or a glass pyrex dish.
Place in fridge and allow to set for at least 1 hour.
Remove from fridge. If using silicone, remove the gummies from the mold and slice into squares, if needed. If using a glass dish, slice into squares and then remove from dish for storage. Store in an airtight container.
Keeps in fridge for up to 2 weeks. Note: Because there are no preservatives, it is possible for mold to grow on gummies as you approach the 2 week mark. Discard at first sign of mold.
These will freeze well for up to 6 months.
Notes
I use more water and less lemon juice in my recipe to try and cut down on the amount of honey needed. Feel free to play with the ratios of liquids and/or amount of honey to satisfy your taste.
Blueberries may be swapped out for another fruit. Other berries are a good choice as, like blueberries, they are rich in antioxidants and have a lower sugar content than many other fruits. If using raspberries, you may want to strain the heated mixture to remove the seeds.
This recipe is enough for an 8x8 inch silicone mold. It is easily halved if you are using small shaped molds and require less mixture.
