Scale
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp spirulina powder (see notes)
- 2 1/2 tbsp Gelatin
Optional-
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener
Instructions
- Pour the apple juice, lemon juice, honey, and spirulina powder into a pot and stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice mixture and allow to bloom for 5 minutes. The mixture should thicken.
- Transfer the pot to the stove and heat over low heat for 3-4 minutes or until fully liquid.
- Use a dropper to carefully transfer the liquid into the mold (I use this). Alternatively, you can use a large glass container.
- Transfer to the fridge for 4 hours or until fully set.
- Carefully remove from the mold. Add the sweetener to a bowl and carefully toss the gummies (see notes). Store in the fridge!
Notes
The monk fruit sweetener is the closest look and feel to regular sugar, but it melts if you keep it in the fridge! If you do add the sweetener, just keep in mind that it won’t keep the same texture in the fridge for longer storage.
To make this recipe vegan, you would swap out gelatin for agar. Agar is a lot stronger than gelatin, so you need to divide the amount of gelatin by three, and then you’ll have the amount of agar needed! This comes out to a little bit under 1 tbsp of agar.
The spirulina is only for color. You can omit it if desired. Spurilina is not AIP, but in such small amounts, it doesn’t bother me personally.
