Hello!
Fruit gummies are my favorite snacks! Homemade fruit gummies are easy to make and much healthier than store-bought ones.
Quick Tip: This recipe is not overly sweet, I developed it for myself, to control sugar intake in my diet. You can add more sweeteners to make it to your taste.
- If you are making these gummies for a child they may need to be sweeter, you can perhaps add a little more honey or maple syrup, or more agave depending on their palate.
- You do not need to stick to this recipe, let your imagination go wild with flavor ideas! Do keep the ratio of liquid (fruit purée and/or juice) and 6 tablespoons of gelatin and you will be fine!
- Fruit enzymes that break down protein:
- Some fruit contain proteases (enzymes that breakdown protein) such as pineapple, kiwi fruit, figs, papaya,mango and guava. These fruits often do not set well.
Equipment
- silicone mold
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of fruit/juice. I used Dragon Fruit pulp and Passion Fruit juice (I processed from my Passion Fruit bushes)
- 4 Tablespoons of Agave Syrup
- 6 Tablespoons of Gelatin
- 1/3 cup of coconut milk
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla extract
- Instructions:
- Blitz the fruit until it is smooth and an even texture. I like to do this before I put in sauce pan.
- In a saucepan place: fruit, vanilla, and coconut milk.
- Simmer for 5 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil!
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the gelatin, I use my stick mixer to mix it in and it makes sure there are absolutely no lumps of gelatin
- Place silicone molds on trays. Portion the mix into a silicone mold. I often find it easiest to put the fruit puree mix into a small jug first with a pouring spout. Or you can always use your turkey baster, but it can get messy, as you can see from my final molds I took out of the refrigerator.
- Chill in the fridge until solid. (usually 1 hr- 2 hours)
- Pop out of the mold and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Enjoy with family and friends!
