Preparation
Step 1
Place fruit in blender or food processor and blend until 0133c3f446bea368d2542cda43c531ff7782e3f446smooth. Strain the puree through a sieve if you want to remove seeds.
Pour puree into a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
While puree heats, pour 1/2 cup juice into a small bowl. Add gelatin and let bloom for five minutes. Teach kiddo about polymer science.
Add gelatin to heated puree and stir until fully dissolved.
Take a quick taste of the fruit mixture. Is it sweet enough for you? Add honey and stir until it is.
Pour mixture into silicone candy or ice molds or a 9×9 metal baking pan. Round shapes like hearts work better than pointy shapes like stars.
Chill for 1-2 hours and remove from pans / trays. If gummies don’t come out easily, chill for another half hour. If you used the 9×9 pan, pull out gummy in one piece by running a knife along edges. Then place on a cutting board and cut into squares of desired size.
Store in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
