Easy Strawberry-Lemonade Gummies
One easy, kid-friendly way to get the power of gelatin into your family’s diet is by making gummies. Think gummy bears without the sugar high. You can’t go wrong.
PrintIngredients
- 1 cup strawberry puree
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 7 tablespoons gelatin find here
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except gelatin in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until warm through, but not hot. Add gelatin and use a whisk or immersion blender to thoroughly combine fruit and gelatin.
- Pour mixture into silicone candy molds or an 8×8-inch glass baking dish. Cover tightly and freeze 15-20 minutes on a level surface of the freezer.
- Remove pan or molds from freezer and remove gummies. If using a baking dish, use a spatula to gently loosen the edges and part of the bottom of the gelatin from the sides of the dish. Gently turn it upside down onto a cutting board and let the gelatin fall out. Use a large knife to cut it into squares or strips. Refrigerate any leftovers.

March 10, 2016 at 7:08 pm7 tablespoons gelatin? I have some GoBio organic Gelatin powder, which says that one pouch (30 gr/1.06 oz; 2 tbsp) will set 2 cups of liquid or 1 1/2 cups solids. So do you really need 7 tbsp gelatin?

March 10, 2016 at 7:15 pmThese are more the consistency of gummie bears than jello :) That’s why we need more – I like it for the health benefits of gelatin.

January 26, 2017 at 11:42 amMade these yesterday and I think I might have cooked the mixture too long on the stove, the gummies came out a bit too chewy (in an off putting way) and some of the flavor of the lemon/strawberries was muted. How long to do you whisk the mixture on the stove before pouring it into the mold?
Thanks!

January 26, 2017 at 12:31 pmHi Rachael, you really just need to make it so the mixture is completely liquid and all the gelatin is melted on the stove- a few minutes.
