Gather your ingredients: This typically includes gelatin, flavored liquid (juice, fruit puree, etc.), sweetener (sugar, honey, etc.), and optional flavorings and colorings.
Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for a few minutes to soften.
Heat the flavored liquid and sweetener: In a saucepan, gently heat the flavored liquid and sweetener until the sugar dissolves.
Combine the gelatin and flavored mixture: Slowly whisk the bloomed gelatin into the hot liquid until fully dissolved.
Pour and mold: Pour the gummy mixture into your desired molds and refrigerate for several hours to set.
Unmold and coat: Once set, remove the gummies from the molds and dust them with cornstarch or another coating to prevent sticking.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
Use caution when working with hot liquids.
Gummy making can be time-consuming, so be prepared to wait for the setting process.
Be sure to use food-grade molds and ingredients.
Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
