Healthy Fruit Gelatin Gummy Snacks
These Healthy Fruit Gelatin Gummy Snacks are a healthy alternative to conventional gummy treats. And they are so simple to make you’ll wonder why you haven’t made them yet!
Servings: 30 pieces
Ingredients
- ½ cup Unflavored Gelatin from grass-fed beef
- 2 cups Fruit Juice, no sugar added (except pineapple, mango or papaya)
- 1 cup Water
- ¼ cup Raw Honey
Instructions
- Place the fruit juice and water in a small saucepan.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture. Do not stir. Let it rest for about 3 to 4 minutes for the gelatin to bloom.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat until it is warm, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
- Add the honey and continue stirring until it is incorporated into the gelatin mixture.
- Remove from heat. Pour the mixture into a pan or molds, using a mesh strainer (to remove any clumps – it happens occasionally). (Note: I use a 8” x 12” pan)
- Let the pan cool. Transfer the pan (or mold) to the refrigerator until the gelatin is set.
- Remove the molds or pan from the refrigerator. Remove the gelatin fruit snacks from the molds.
- If you have used a pan for the gelatin to set, use a small silicone spatula or plastic knife to loosen the edge of the gelatin from the pan.
- Lift the gelatin from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Cut the gelatin fruit snacks with a knife or using small cookie cutters.
- Store in the refrigerator (fridge) for up to ten days
Notes
The number of pieces depends on the size of cookie cutters used. Since I make these mostly for my daughter, I like to use small cookie cutters (about 1 inch).
