Calories: 4kcal
Ingredients
- 1 jar (13 ounce) strawberry, blackberry, or blueberry jam
- 3/4 cup lemon juice, or use water
- 2 tablespoons fruit pectin
- 2 tablespoons collagen (optional)
- granulated sugar, for coating add to your liking
Instructions
- 1. In a saucepan, mix the jam with the lemon juice/water. Sprinkle the pectin and collagen on top, then whisk into the fruit. 2. Place the pan on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a bubble and cook 12-15 minutes, until the pectin has dissolved and you have a very smooth, syrupy liquid that is starting to look jam like.3. Pour the mixture into the gummy bear molds or into a 9x9 parchment-lined baking dish. Refrigerate for 2 hours until completely set. 4. Pop the gummy bears out of the molds (or cut into small squares). Place the sugar in a bowl and toss the gummy bears in the sugar. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
The Fruit Pectin: I tested with both pectin and gelatin and whole both work well, I think using pectin give you a more candy like gummy bear.
