- Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, pureed
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unflavored gelatin (about 3 packets)
- 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (for a sour kick)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Extra citric acid or sugar (for coating, optional)
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pureed strawberries, water, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer.
- Once the mixture is heated, add the honey (or maple syrup) and stir until dissolved.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture, stirring constantly until it’s completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
- Stir in the citric acid and salt, mixing well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into gummy molds or a silicone ice cube tray. Tap gently to release any air bubbles.
- Refrigerate the gummies for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.
- Once set, remove the gummies from the molds. If desired, toss the gummies in a mixture of citric acid and sugar to give them a sour coating.
- Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
