Preparation
- Add the fruit juice to a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until warm, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of your choice. Then whisk in the gelatin over low heat until fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. If using agar agar, whisk and bring mixture to a simmer over low-medium heat until combined well, for about 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool 1-2 minutes.
- To make a single-color gummy, transfer the mixture to a single bowl. To make multi-colored gummies, divide the mixture among multiple bowls, corresponding to the number of colors desired. Add food coloring to each bowl until the desired color is reached.
- To make a single-color gummy, use a dropper to fill the mold. To make multi-colored gummies, use droppers to simultaneously add 2 colors on opposite sides to the silicone mold. Note: If you don’t have a candy mold, you can also use an ice cube tray or pour the mixture into the bottom of a food storage container and cut into cubes once set.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Enjoy!
