Fruit Snacks Recipe

American · Snack · 20 min total

These homemade fruit snacks are a healthy and delicious alternative to store-bought gummies, made with real fruit juice and natural sweeteners.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fruit juice (e.g., apple, grape, or orange)
• 1/2 cup fruit puree (e.g., strawberry, mango, or raspberry)
• 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the fruit juice and gelatin powder. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the fruit puree, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm (do not boil).
3. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the saucepan and stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
5. Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. If using a baking dish, cut into desired shapes with a knife or cookie cutters.
8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

• Use 100% fruit juice and puree for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
• For a firmer texture, add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of gelatin.
• These fruit snacks are best stored in the refrigerator and can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
