Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- ½ cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan alternative)
- 1 cup water
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (or vegan agar-agar)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Optional
- Food coloring (if a more vibrant color is desired)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients. Squeeze fresh lemons to extract 1 cup of juice. If using fresh strawberries, blend them into a smooth puree.
- Heat Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, strawberry puree, honey or maple syrup, sea salt, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is warm and the sweetener is dissolved, but do not let it boil.
- Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the warm mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin to absorb liquid and soften.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Stir the mixture thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
- Pour into Molds: Remove the pan from heat and pour the liquid gently into silicone molds. If desired, add food coloring to enhance the color. Allow the molds to cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours or until the gummies have fully set and solidified.
- Store Gummies: Carefully remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and natural electrolytes.
- For a vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder, but note the setting times and ratios may vary.
- Do not boil the mixture after adding gelatin to avoid compromising its setting ability.
- Add food coloring sparingly to achieve your preferred intensity without altering taste.
- If using silicone molds, lightly grease them to facilitate easier removal.
- Store gummies refrigerated to maintain their texture and freshness.
