Amazon just delivered 4 molds with 50 bears each. 200 total gummy bears. Hurry up and test it and post it. PLEASE
OK iddee! I have a better recipe that I like so much better! Not the same texture as Haribo gummies, but closer. I'm not sure if one would ever be able to achieve that.
This recipe has a lot more flavor. I made juice from elderberries I had stored in the freezer. Elderberry aids in boosting the immune system.
https://whiteblankspace.com/homemade-gummy-bears/ for the complete recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fruit juice
juice from 1 lemon
3 Tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup honey
In a saucepan, add juice, lemon juice, and gelatin. Gently mix with a spoon and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Add honey to the mixture. Turn on the heat and warm up the mixture while gently stirring. Use low heat to ensure that the mixture doesn’t boil. As the mixture warms up, it will turn into liquid. Turn off the heat and scoop up the foam with a spoon.
Fill a gummy bear mold with the mixture. I prefer pouring the liquid into the mold over using a dropper. A dropper creates a lot of bubbles.
Let the gummy bears set for 15 minutes. At this point, it will be easy to move the mold to the fridge without spilling. Let the gummy bears set for 1~2 hours in the refrigerator.
Pop out the gummy bears from the mold. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days. You can pack the gummies to-go or in lunch boxes at room temperature for a few hours without them becoming too soft.
I liked this well enough to share with my neighbor and her family. She and I picked the elderberries together.
I think I am going to try to experiment with adding CBD oil in the future. I will have to do my research as I have never worked with that before.
Good luck iddee!
