How to make Homemade Gummies
In a saucepan, mix the water with the unflavored and flavored jellies over a double boiler.
As soon as the jellies have melted, add the sugar and stir well until all the sugar is dissolved.
When boiling, continue to stir for about 5 minutes and turn off the heat. The mixture should be liquid and homogeneous.
In a greased mold with margarine, pour the mixture and let it sit for about 24 hours for a firm consistency. You can cover the mold with a towel, if you like.
The next day, remove the gummies from the mold, cut them into small pieces, and shape them as you want.
To finish, coat the gummies with sugar and wait for them to dry.
If you prefer gummies to be more consistent, wait another 2 days after this last step before enjoying them.
Tips & Tricks
Cover the mold with a towel to prevent dust from settling on the gummies while they set.
FAQS
How do I make homemade gummies from scratch?
To make homemade gummies, start by mixing water with unflavored and flavored jello over a double boiler. Once melted, add refined sugar and stir until dissolved. Boil for about 5 minutes, then pour the mixture into a greased mold and let it sit for 24 hours. After that, cut into pieces, coat with sugar, and allow them to dry.
Are these homemade gummies suitable for a vegan diet?
Unfortunately, this homemade gummies recipe is not vegan-friendly due to the use of refined sugar and jello, which often contains gelatin derived from animal products. You can substitute the unflavored jello with a plant-based gelatin alternative to make it suitable for vegans.
What can I use instead of refined sugar in homemade gummies?
If you're looking for a healthier alternative to refined sugar in your homemade gummies, consider using agave syrup, honey (if not vegan), or a sugar substitute like stevia. Keep in mind that these substitutes may alter the texture and sweetness of the gummies.
How should I store my homemade gummies for freshness?
To keep your homemade gummies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you live in a humid climate, consider refrigerating them to prevent sticking. Properly stored, they can last for up to two weeks.
What flavors of jello can I use for my homemade gummies?
You can use any flavored jello of your choice for your homemade gummies! Popular options include strawberry, raspberry, or lime. Mixing different flavors can also create a fun and colorful assortment that appeals to both kids and adults.
