Gelatin Gummies
Ingredients
1 cup liquid (we use grape juice, lemonade, apple cider, etc.)
1 TBSP gelatin powder
Process
Pour juice into a small cooking pan. Sprinkle gelatin over top of juice and allow to “bloom” for a few minutes. This gives the gelatin time to activate in the liquid.
Cook over medium heat, while stirring, for a few minutes, allowing the gelatin to dissolve into the juice. Do not let the liquid boil. This is a very gentle warming.
Carefully pour mixture into a glass dish or silicon mold. We use these: Amazon.com: La chat 4 Packs Silicone Molds for Chocolate, Food Grade no-stick Baking, candy and butter Mold with different shape : Home & Kitchen
Refrigerate for a couple hours or until mixture solidifies. If using a glass dish, cut into squares. If using molds, pop out and store in a glass container with lid.
