Description
Delightfully chewy watermelon gummies made with fresh watermelon and natural sweeteners that embody the essence of summer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/8 of a medium watermelon
- 1 packet of unflavored gelatin
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop out the flesh of 1/8 of a medium watermelon and blend it until it transforms into a smooth, luscious puree.
- Strain (if desired) the blended watermelon juice to remove any pulp and achieve the ultimate smoothness.
- Pour the fresh watermelon juice into a saucepan over low heat. Stirring gently ensures that everything heats evenly without losing important nutrients.
- Gradually stir in the unflavored gelatin, lemon juice, and honey. Keep stirring until everything dissolves completely—this creates that quintessential gummy texture.
- Pour this vibrant mixture into your silicone molds or a shallow dish.
- Pop your molds or dish into the refrigerator and wait patiently for 3-4 hours until they set firmly.
- Once firm, carefully pop out the gummies or cut them into squares if you used a dish.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can freeze them for longer storage.
