Bursting Berry Bliss Healthy Gummy Bears My Easy Recipe

Instructions:

1. Blend the mixed berries, water, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth.
2. For a smoother gummy, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
3. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of the berry puree. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
4. Pour the remaining berry puree into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer gently (don't boil!).
5. Reduce heat to low and add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the saucepan. Whisk constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vitamin C powder (if using) until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
7. Carefully pour the mixture into the silicone gummy bear molds using a dropper or small spoon.
8. Place the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the gummy bears are firm.
9. Once set, gently pop the gummy bears out of the molds. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your Healthy Gummy Bears!
