Let’s dive into how you can make these little bites of goodness right at home!
Ingredients:
Fresh/Frozen Version:
2 cups frozen wild or organic blueberries
5 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. Grass-fed gelatin
5 – 7 Tbsp of cool water
1 – 2 Tbsp. honey
Directions:
Place the blueberries in a microwave safe dish and defrost. Once soft, pour the berries into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour this into a saucepan over low heat. Add the honey and stir.
In another bowl combine the gelatin and the water. Add just enough water to moisten the gelatin when stirring. Let this sit for 2 minutes. Then place the dish into the microwave on high for 10 second increments stirring between heatings. I needed 2 ½ increments.
Once the gelatin is a liquid, pour it into the blueberry mixture and stir until fully combined. Let cool a couple of minutes and then fill your silicone molds with a dropper if you have one or you can spoon it in. Make sure to place the molds on a stiff cutting board that will fit in your refrigerator. This will help you avoid spilling.
Refrigerate for 20 – 30 minutes and then you can remove the gummies from the mold by pushing them out gently.
As per the video, if you don’t want to buy a gummy bear mold you can use an ice cube tray to try it out. Just be sure to grease the tray before adding the gummy mix.
Store these in the refrigerator for about a week in a ziploc bag or a covered container.
Fruit Juice Version
1 cup 100% fruit juice
2 Tbsp. grass fed gelatin
2 – 3 Tbsp. cool water
1 Tbsp honey or to taste
