This is the gelatin powder i use to make the gummies.

• 4 cups juice of choice

• 1-2 tablespoons raw honey (optional)

• 6-8 scoops gelatin.

• lemon juice [for flavour, (use more gelatin if using]]

Put two cups of juice on the stove, heating up on low.

In a separate bowl bloom the gelatin in the other 2 cups of juice at room temp. Add gelatin slowly, by whisking it in one scoop at a time.

Let this sit as it blooms for 5-10 minutes (until it thickens).

Once you see tiny bubbles in the heated juice, or until you can’t hold your finger in the pot for more than 2 seconds, you can add the bloomed gelatin, and lastly the honey.

Stir or whisk in until liquid goes clear, or until the gelatin seems completely melted in.

Remove from heat, and pour into a flat bottomed glass pan, or use these molds and syringes to make your own neat shapes. I got sea creatures and worms.

Place in the fridge and allow to set undisturbed for at least 3 hours or overnight.

To remove from pan simply slice with a sharp knife into squares and release the edges with the knife, then gently pull back with fingers.

**They will stay good for up to 2 weeks in the fridge, depending on temperature, and use of lemon or not, because lemon has a slight preservative aspect. I’ve eaten them for up to two weeks.

You can also freeze them for up to a month, but you’ll have to allow them to defrost on a towel, or dab them off, because the freezer is very dehydrating and makes the gelatin lose some integrity, or “water retaining properties.”

Here is why it’s good for you.
