Make Your Own Healthy Yummy Gummies!

 

One thing my kids love is gummies! Though I am not a fan of all the added sugar and dyes I usually do some label reading before buying any. I was recently sent this great recipe from kidstir to make my own gummies and can not wait to make some with the kids. I wanted to share the recipe with all of you so you can make your own gummies as well. 

What You Need:

1 cup juice per flavor (carrot/orange and cranberry/raspberry) 

~ you can use any juice you'd like

2 envelops unflavored gelatin (1 pack per flavor of juice)

What You Do:

1. Measure 1 cup of juice. Pour 2/3 of the cup into the cooking pot. Leave 1/3 cup in the measuring cup and sprinkle it with the unflavored gelatin and let it sit.
2. Heat the juice until it starts to boil. Carefully pour the hot juice over the gelatin.
3. Stir for about 5 minutes, or until gelatin dissolves.
4. Pour it into candy molds and or ice cube trays (pour over the sink in case of spills).
5. Refrigerate until the gummies set, about 5 hours. Run the molds under hot water and slip out the shapes. Eat right away or cover and store in the fridge for up to a week.

Makes about 4 servings (makes 12 to 60 gummies, depending on the size of your molds or ice cube trays)
