Instructions
Preparation
- Lightly spray your silicone molds with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Mixing and Pouring
- Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- If using food coloring, add it now.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the silicone molds, filling them about one-third full.
- Allow the first layer to set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Repeat the heating, mixing, and pouring process with different colors or flavors, layering each one atop the previous before setting.
Final Steps
- Once all layers are completed and firm, remove the gummies from the molds.
- Enjoy the vibrant, chewy delights!
Notes
You can swap the base juice for different fruit juices like apple, blueberry, or peach. Adjust sweetness to your liking or substitute with honey or maple syrup. Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
