Servings: 30 gummies
Calories: 9kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup beets cooked
- 1/3 cup apple juice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp unflavored gelatin
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 2 hours 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 critical as the mixture is liquid, and the molds are silicon, so they 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 sets a bit, then move them to the refrigerator.
- Use a dropper or small spoon to transfer the gummy mixture to the silicone mold. Using a small spoon is easier as the mixture is thick, and the dropper creates 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 ones as they are naturally made without waxes or corn syrup. But they are delicious and more jelly-like in texture.
