This Homemade Gummies comes together in about 30 minutes and is made with just a pot over low heat for a quick and easy joy-filled snack that your family will love!

Ingredients Breakdown

Let’s gather what we need to make these delicious gummies:

1 cup fresh fruit juice
2-4 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons gelatin powder
Optional: Fruit chunks or zest for added flavor and texture!

Let’s Get Cooking!

Alright, let’s get to the good stuff, making these amazing gummies! Follow along with these easy steps:

In a small saucepan, whisk together the fresh fruit juice and honey over low heat until the honey dissolves, this takes about 2-3 minutes. The juice will start to smell sweet and fruity, making your kitchen feel cozy!
Slowly sprinkle in the gelatin powder while whisking continuously. This is key! You want it to dissolve completely, so stir for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and looks slightly glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Wait for that moment when the mixture reaches a perfect warm temperature, it smells divine!
Pour the mixture into gummy molds or a shallow dish. If you’re using molds, maybe try fun shapes like stars or bears, it makes the gummies even more joyful!
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. You can sneak a little taste after about an hour to check just a little, I promise it’s tempting!
Once set, carefully remove them from the molds or cut into squares if you used a dish. Now, it’s time to enjoy your homemade gummies as a snack or toss them in the kids’ lunchboxes!
