Learn how to make Homemade Gummy Bears featuring your favorite fruit and only 4 ingredients!
- 3 tablespoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml/1 fl oz) water
- 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml) pure fruit juice, strained
- 2 tablespoons honey (or agave)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
Place a silicone gummy bear mold on a baking sheet and set aside.
-
Bloom the gelatin: in a small bowl, combine the gelatin with the water. Stir and let sit while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the juice, honey (or agave) and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
-
Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin for a few minutes, until completely dissolved.
-
Pass through a sieve and into a jug with a pour spout to ensure that the mixture is free of small lumps or pulp.
-
Pour the mixture into the gummy bear molds and refrigerate for 4 hours, until completely set.
-
Pop the gummy bears out of the molds. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (If stacking, use parchment paper between the layers.)
