Gelatin, the key ingredient in these homemade gummies, contains collagen, protein and minerals that can help promote healthy skin, hair, nails and bones. The citrus, ginger and honey meld into an addictive, yet nutritious adult treat. The flavor may be too intense for kids, so try the Homemade Fruit Juice Gummy Bears for them. Silicon gummy bear and other candy molds are easy to find online, such as these.
Homemade Lemon-Ginger Gummy Bears
Instructions
- Heat up the juice, honey and ginger in a small saucepan. As it heats, sprinkle the gelatin and whisk it in to mix. Once ingredients start to simmer, remove from heat and continue whisking constantly until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Pour into silicon gummy molds or silicon ice cube trays. To speed up the gelling time, put the filled molds into the freezer for about 10 minutes then pop bears out of molds onto a plate.
- Repeat until you use up all of the gelatin mixture. (If the gelatin starts to gel before you pour into the molds reheat it.) Makes 120-140 ¾ inch gummy bears.
