My kids love these homemade paleo gummies and we have been making them since they were small. This is a "treat" for adults or kids that you can feel good about serving because they are fairly low sugar and they provide a good source of collagen that helps to support healthy hair, skin, nails, joints and bones.
Pour the gelatin into the bottom of a medium sized saucepan
Pour the fruit or vegetable juice and lemon juice over the gelatin and using a fork, mix well. It will make a thick paste- just keep mixing until there are no lumps.
Heat the mixture over a low flame until the mixture "melts" and becomes clear
Pour the mixture into gummy bear or other silicone molds. It will be easier to transfer from the saucepan to a small pitcher or measuring cup with a "pour" spout
To speed up the cooling and hardening process you can put your molds in the refrigerator until cool
Once the gummie shapes have cooled and hardened, pop them out of the molds. They will keep in a jar or other container in the refrigerator for about a week (if they last that long!)
Notes
Refrigerate for 2 hours. Enjoy.
