Recipe: Homemade Fruit Snacks

Servings: Approx. 75 - 100 (depending on size)

• 2 cup fruit and/or vegetable juice (preferably 100% juice, not concentrate)

• ½ cup unflavored gelatin

• 1/3 cup honey

• ½ tsp vanilla extract (could also use liquid stevia)

• 1 cup pureed fruit (strawberries, blueberries, applesauce, etc.)

1. Place fruit juice in a large glass bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin powder, whisking until the powder is well mixed into the juice. Set aside and allow to soften for 5 minutes, then microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, just until the mixture softens.

2. Working quickly, whisk in honey, vanilla extract or liquid stevia and pureed fruit. Pour into prepared molds or loaf pan. Refrigerate until hardened, approx. 2-3 hrs.

3. Remove from molds, if using loaf pan cut into small squares.

4. Keep homemade gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. Can leave out on the countertop as well.
