- 2/3 cups lemon juice (you can use orange if you don’t like your gummies sour)
- 2/3 cup fresh or frozen fruit (I used frozen blueberries)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (the amount depends on how sour your fruit is, and if you used lemon or orange juice)
- 5 tablespoons high-quality gelatin
Oh neat!! This is such a cool at-home recipe friend! Love the flavour too 🙂
This looks great! Do you know how long they will stay good in the fridge? Thanks!
Yeah, I thought it was really cool when I learned you could make your own gummies. 🙂
I think they should keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge, probably longer. 🙂
I'm wondering why you're no longer going to use the Great Lakes gelatin? Is there something better about the Vital Proteins brand?
I think that the Vital Proteins brand is a bit higher quality. The Great Lakes makes no mention of being from grass-fed cows on the package, whereas the Vital Proteins is pasture-raised. I think the Great Lakes gelatin is still a good choice, though.
I love making homemade gummies! My littles devour them too, as long as I make sure they aren't too tart. I feel confused about everyone's recommendation for gelatin though. I have been using Great Lakes and Bernard Jensen, which all the health bloggers used to recommend as being clean and properly raised. Now everyone is switching to Vital Proteins (which is a little more expensive), which I don't know if for sponsorship reasons or vast quality differences. (Same thing with this new Rosita cod liver oil brand!)
Your previous post is making me very happy I have homemade ice cream freezing right this minute! I will have to try that recipe next – right now it's Mexican chocolate.
I looked on the Great Lakes website, and they say that their cattle are grass-fed, but their hogs are not pastured. I think that the Vital Proteins is just a bit better quality, and perhaps some bloggers have been sponsored to talk about Vital Proteins. I won't give up on Great Lakes, but I want to try the Vital Proteins gelatin. I have their collagen peptides and I like it. And: I just bought a bottle of the Rosita cod liver oil! I wanted to try it out. 🙂
Yay for homemade ice cream! 😀 😀 😀
