Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 3 tbsp (21g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water

Instructions:

  1. Blend the fresh strawberries until completely smooth. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove all seeds.
  2. Stir the fresh lemon juice and honey into the strawberry puree until fully integrated.
  3. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the cold water in a small saucepan and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Note: This lets the gelatin swell before heating
  4. Turn the heat to low and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is clear and completely liquefied.
  5. Slowly pour the strawberry puree into the melted gelatin. Stir gently on low heat for about 2 minutes until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  6. Ensure the mixture does not boil. If you see big bubbles breaking the surface, pull it off the heat immediately.
  7. Use a dropper to fill silicone gummy molds or pour the liquid into a parchment lined glass baking dish.
  8. Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until the gummies are firm and spring back when pressed.
  9. Pop the gummies out of the molds or slice the set mixture into small squares.
