Description
Chewy, tangy, and naturally sweet, these Healthy Sour Strawberry Gummies are made with fresh strawberries and wholesome ingredients. Perfect as a guilt-free snack, they’re quick and easy to prepare and packed with real fruit flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for coating)
Instructions
- Blend the Fruit Mixture: Combine the strawberries, water, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Heat the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat and stir in the honey. Warm the mixture gently without boiling.
- Incorporate Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm mixture, whisking constantly to dissolve it completely and prevent lumps. Stir until smooth.
- Pour into Molds: Transfer the mixture to silicone molds or a parchment-lined baking dish for easy removal. Use a spoon or a small funnel for precision.
- Chill: Refrigerate the molds or dish for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are fully set.
- Cut and Coat (Optional): If using a baking dish, remove the set mixture and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Roll each gummy in granulated sugar for a sour coating, if desired.
- Store: Transfer the gummies to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Frozen strawberries can be used but should be thawed and drained first.
- Adjust the sweetness and tartness by varying the amount of honey and lemon juice.
- To make a vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar, following the package instructions for setting liquids.
