2-Ingredient Fruit Juice Gummies
With just 2 simple ingredients, these fruit juice gummies are a fun treat to make at home! You'll just need pure fruit juice and gelatin, plus 1-2 hours for them to set to a Jello-like consistency, or overnight for a gummy consistency.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% fruit juice
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Instructions
- In a small pan, heat the juice until very warm but not boiling.
- Turn off the heat and whisk in the gelatin until smooth.
- Allow to cool slightly, then pour into silicone molds.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set to a Jello-like consistency.
- If you'd like a texture closer to a store-bought gummy, allow to sit out overnight, uncovered, to dry out.
Notes
- Most 100% fruit juices or nectars will work here. I used white grape juice with a few drops of raspberry juice added for color, nectarine nectar, and concord grape juice for the gummies in the photos.
- Pineapple, kiwi, and/or papaya will not work for this recipe.
- I have not tested this recipe with homemade fruit purees and can't say whether they will work. If you test it yourself, let us know how it goes in the comments.
- Any silicone mold will work for these gummies. I used a bunny shaped mold to make the gummies pictured.
- Make sure your gelatin is fresh, or the gummies may not set properly.
- These are only going to be as sweet as the juice you use. If you want them sweeter, add a bit of sweetener to the juice in step one.
