Homemade Gummy Bears
Such a fun recipe to make with your kids!
Ingredients
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons cranberry juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 4 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, cranberry juice and 2 tablespoons of your desired sweetener. Heat over medium heat until steaming hot but not yet boiling.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Carefully taste the mixture, and add another tablespoon of sweetener, if you feel like it needs it. Whisk in the gelatin 1 tablespoon at a time, making sure each addition is dissolved before adding the next.
- Once fully dissolved, remove the pan from heat and use a dropper to fill the gummy bear molds. Refrigerate until firm (10 to 15 minutes). Once firm, pop the gummy bears from the molds.
