Ingredients
1 cup 100% fruit juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
Optional: natural food coloring or fruit/vegetable powders
Optional: vitamin C powder or supplements
Cooking spray for molds
Instructions
1. Set your silicone gummy molds on a tray and prepare your tools. Lightly grease the molds if necessary.
2. In a saucepan off the heat, combine fruit juice, lemon juice, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
3. Gradually sprinkle gelatin over the liquid. Let it bloom for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
4. Turn heat to low and whisk gently until gelatin dissolves fully. Do not boil.
5. Add optional colorings or supplements and stir well.
6. Use a dropper to fill each mold cavity with the mixture.
7. Chill molds in the fridge for 1-2 hours until gummies are fully set.
8. Gently remove from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Always bloom the gelatin for smoother, chewier gummies.
Use 100% fruit juice for best color and flavor—avoid juice cocktails.
Don’t skip chilling time; fully set gummies are easier to remove and enjoy.
