Fruit Gummies
Ingredients
- 1 c of fresh fruit juice of choice (strained)
- 1/4 c coconut water (to help sweeten)
- 1/4 c lemon juice
- 1-2 tbs maple syrup or agave (probably better)
- 1-2 tsp of agar agar
Preparation
Blend fresh fruit until smooth. Strain with a nut milk bag. In a separate bowl, mix coconut water + 1-2 tsp of agar agar depending on how thick your juice is after straining until dissolved
On med-low heat, heat juice with maple syrup for a few minutes until slightly boiling. Turn down heat to low. Pour in agar agar mixture and let it simmer until it’s a thickened consistency (check by how slow or fast it pours off your spoon), usually about 5 minutes. Whisk throughout
Pour into your silicone mold and let it sit at room temp for ~5 min before placing in the fridge to set for ~10 min. If your mixture isn’t setting quickly, you might need to pour back into the pot and add more agar agar
