Preparation

Step 1

Pour 1 1/2 cups of juice into a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil.0164b35687741eb31bab6db32eb4e78f469f6b6d32
While juice heats, pour remaining 1/2 cup of the juice into a small bowl. Add gelatin and let bloom for five minutes. Teach kiddo about polymer science.
Add gelatin to heated juice and stir until fully dissolved.
Take a quick taste of the juice 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.
