Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- Coconut oil for greasing the pan (about 1 teaspoon)
- 4 cups of juice (any juice other than pineapple, divided)
- 8 tablespoons gelatin (Vital Proteins recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease an 8”x8” pan with coconut oil to ensure the gummies do not stick once set.
- Bloom the Gelatin: Pour 3 cups of the juice into a wide, shallow bowl. Evenly sprinkle 8 tablespoons of gelatin over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the juice fully and resembles a thick applesauce-like consistency with no visible white gelatin.
- Heat Remaining Juice: While the gelatin is blooming, heat the remaining 1 cup of juice in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Add the gelatin and juice mixture to the heated juice in the saucepan and stir continuously until completely dissolved. This ensures the gummies will set properly.
- Set the Gummies: Pour the fully combined mixture carefully into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours to allow the gummies to firm up completely.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the gummies from the pan and cut them into squares or any shape you prefer. Enjoy your gut-supporting homemade gummies as a healthy snack!
Notes
- Use juice flavors other than pineapple, as pineapple contains enzymes that can prevent gelatin from setting properly.
- For firmer gummies, you can increase the gelatin slightly or reduce the juice amount.
- Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and freshness.
- Gelatin brands may vary; Vital Proteins is recommended for best results.
- These gummies are naturally gluten-free and free from added sugars if you use natural juice without added sugar.
