Equipment

Ingredients 
 

  • 1 cup strawberries cut into small pieces, then measure
  • 1/4 cup beetroot cooked. Cut into small pieces, then measure
  • 1/3 cup apple juice unsweetened
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 3 tbsp gelatin unflavored

Instructions

  • Add the strawberries, cooked beets, maple syrup and apple juice to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the fruit puree to a small bowl and add the unflavored gelatin. Mix and let it "bloom" for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the gelatin mixture to a saucepan over low heat and whisk until dissolved (do not boil).
  • Place the silicone mold on a baking tray and transfer the gelatin mixture.
  • Refrigerate for 2h until firm, unmold, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to blend the mixture very well, no chunks should be left! I love using ninja blender because it is powerful and blends very well.
  • You can taste the sweetness of the mixture after blending and adjust if necessary.
  • Before filling the silicone mold, place it on a tray to facilitate moving it. This step is very important as the mixture is liquid and the molds are silicon and won’t hold their shape when filled. If not using a tray, you may fill the mold and wait about 15 minutes until the gummy bear mixture set a bit, then move them to the refrigerator.
  • Use a little dropper or small spoon to transfer the gummy mixture to the silicone mold. I find that using a small spoon is easier as the mixture is thick, and the dropper creates way too many bubbles.
  • These molds make perfect-sized gummy bears (not too small) and it is very easy to unmold!
  • These gummies do not have the same texture as store-bought as they are naturally made without any waxes or sorn syrup. But they are very tasty and more jelly-like in texture.
