Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fruit juice (any flavor, 100% juice recommended)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin
- 1 set Gummy bear mold
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fruit juice and granulated sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the juice mixture a little at a time, allowing it to absorb before stirring. Avoid adding the gelatin too quickly to prevent clumps.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the gelatin and sugar have completely dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.
Once dissolved and smooth, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes until it is safe to handle.
Using a dropper (often included with gummy bear molds), carefully fill each cavity of the gummy bear mold with the liquid mixture.
Transfer the filled molds to the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours, or until the gummy bears are firm and easily pop out of the mold.
Remove the gummy bears from the mold and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
