Ingredients for Homemade Gummies
To make these homemade gummies, you’ll need a few basic ingredients that you can easily find in your pantry or local grocery store:
- 1/2 cup fruit juice (any flavor you like—orange, grape, strawberry, apple, etc. Feel free to use 100% natural juice for a healthier version!)
- 2 tablespoons gelatin powder (This helps the gummies set and gives them that chewy texture.)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice (This adds the sweetness; you can use maple syrup, agave, or stevia if you prefer a sugar-free version.)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Optional, but it enhances the flavor and helps balance the sweetness.)
- Optional Add-ins: A pinch of salt, natural flavor extracts, or even powdered vitamin C or CBD oil.
Equipment You’ll Need
- Small saucepan (for melting and mixing)
- Gummy molds (Silicone molds are ideal because they make it easy to pop out the gummies, but you can use any mold or even a baking dish if you don’t have specific molds.)
- Whisk (to stir the ingredients)
- Dropper (optional, for filling smaller molds with precision)
- Refrigerator (for setting the gummies)
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Homemade Gummies
1. Prepare the Fruit Juice Base
Start by selecting the fruit juice of your choice. You can use any type of juice, and if you want to make a healthier version, opt for 100% fruit juice without added sugars or artificial flavorings. Pour your juice into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat.
2. Add Gelatin to the Juice
Once your juice is warm (but not boiling), sprinkle the gelatin powder into the juice slowly, while continuously whisking. This helps the gelatin dissolve evenly and ensures you don’t end up with clumps. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. If you want a firmer gummy, add more gelatin (about 3 tablespoons for extra firmness).
