Ingredients:
(Yields ~50 gummies)
-
1 cup 100% fruit juice (e.g., tart cherry, watermelon, or pomegranate)
-
2 tablespoons Collagen ComplexTM
-
1 tablespoon Hydration Complex
-
3 tablespoons grass-fed beef gelatin or gelatin of choice
-
1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
-
1/4 cup water (for blooming gelatin)
Directions:
-
Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the beef gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the water and swell.
-
Heat the Juice: In a saucepan, gently heat the fruit juice over low heat until it's warm but not boiling.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm juice, stirring continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Then, whisk in Collagen Complex™ and Hydration Complex. Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten (optional).
-
Mold the Gummies: Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds or a shallow dish lined with parchment paper.
-
Set the Gummies: Place the molds or dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are firm.
-
Unmold and Store: Once set, remove the gummies from the molds or cut them into bite-sized pieces if using a dish.
-
Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
