FAQs About Sour Blackberry Gummy Bears

1. Can I use frozen blackberries for this recipe?
Yes. You can blend frozen blackberries with a little water to make juice. Strain the mixture to remove seeds. Using fresh or frozen fruit gives a rich berry flavor, and both work well for gummy recipes like this one.

2. Why are my gummies not firm enough?
The gummies may lack enough gelatin. Use more gelatin for firmer texture. Also chill them longer. Sometimes warm room temperature softens gummies, so keeping them in the fridge helps them stay chewy and firm.

3. Can I make these gummies without sugar?
Yes. You can use honey or stevia. The flavor will still taste great. Just adjust sweetness to your liking. Sugar-free versions may be softer, but they still taste very good with the blackberry and lemon mix.

4. Can I add other fruit flavors?
Yes. You can mix blackberry with raspberry, strawberry or blueberry juice. You can also create half-and-half flavors. This recipe works well with many fruits, so you can make different colors and tastes.

5. Why do my gummies melt outside the fridge?
Homemade gummies use natural ingredients. They do not have stabilizers like store candies. Warm air can soften them. Keep them chilled to maintain their texture and shape for a longer time.
