Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Place the chopped strawberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  2. Heat the Water: In a small saucepan, heat the water over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.
  3. Dissolve the Gelatin: Gradually sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm water. Stir continuously until fully dissolved.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the strawberry puree, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice to the gelatin mixture. Stir until well combined.
  5. Fill Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds, filling each cavity to the top.
  6. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours, until the gummies are firm.
  7. Remove and Store: After setting, gently pop the gummies out of their molds. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • If you prefer a vegan alternative, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder, though the texture may vary slightly.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • Store gummies refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness, and consume within one week.
  • Silicone molds are recommended for easy removal of the gummies.
