Blueberry Lemon Gelatin Gummies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen organic blueberries, defrosted
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice from 2-3 lemons
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 TBSP maple syrup
  • 5 TBSP grass-fed gelatin I use this or this

Instructions

  • Once the blueberries are defrosted (or mostly defrosted) add to a blender or food processor.
  • Add lemon juice, water, and maple syrup.
  • Blend for about a minute, or until thin and well blended.
  • Pour blueberry mixture into a small saucepan. Heat mixture until just luke warm, one to two minutes - the gelatin incorporates better when the blueberry mixture isn't very warm.
  • Once the mixture has warmed just a bit, slowly add gelatin, whisking constantly.
  • Once all of the gelatin is mixed thoroughly, pour mixture in to an 8x8 baking dish. Place dish in the fridge to cool for about an hour.
  • Remove from fridge and slice into small squares (I cut like I’m cutting tiny pieces of brownies). Store in fridge for up to one week.

Notes

  • “Collagen Hydrolysate” is different than “Gelatin.” Vital Proteins and Great Lakes make both types, so be sure you’re using the right GELATIN and not Collagen for this recipe! If you’re using Vital Proteins, the Beef Gelatin (that will cause these gummies to actually gel) has a green label. If you’re using Great Lakes Gelatin, the Beef Gelatin label is red.
  • I use frozen blueberries because they’re more juicy when they defrost, they’re cheaper, and they’re much easier to find all year round.
  • I know my son would love it if I made these into cute little gummy bears like many recipes show. If you have the time, go for the cute gummy bears….but if not, I promise your child will love you just the same! I held off making them for a while because I didn’t want to bother with the gummy bear mold…don’t make the same mistake!
  • If you end up with little clumps of gelatin after you’ve mixed, simply take a fork and skim these off the top.
