All-Natural Fruit Gummies
The Wrote Oat
August 31, 2023
These all-natural fruit juice gummies are surprisingly easy to make and can be whipped up in minutes. The longest task of this recipe is piping the juice into the molds. After some trial and error, I found that adding a few drops of fruit extract will greatly enhance the flavor of the gummies. When I made the first batch I used straight pomegranate cherry juice and lemon juice and there was almost imperceptible flavor. The second batch I made was orange (using orange juice concentrate and orange juice extract) and the flavor much better with the extract!

Working quickly, use a pipette syringe to pour the juice into the molds. You may have to gently reheat the saucepan halfway through this process to ensure everything remains liquidy and doesn't start to gel in the pot.

If the gummies are too sticky you and place them in a bowl with cornstarch and toss them to ensure they're covered on all sides and allow to sit for a few hours.
I recommend keeping the gummies in an air-tight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
