Sour Blackberry Gummy Bears Recipe
Sour Blackberry Gummy Bears are fun, chewy and full of bold berry flavor. They taste sweet at first and then give a sour kick. You can make them at home with simple ingredients and easy steps.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberry juice
- 3 tablespoons gelatin
- 3 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon citric acid for coating
Instructions
Heat the Blackberry Juice
- Pour blackberry juice into a small saucepan. Warm it on low heat until it becomes hot but not boiling.
Add the Gelatin
- Sprinkle gelatin slowly over the warm juice. Whisk well until the gelatin melts completely.
Add Sweetener
- Stir in honey or sugar slowly. Mix until it dissolves and blends with the berry juice.
Add Lemon Juice
- Pour lemon juice into the mixture. It gives a bright and tangy flavor to the gummies.
Keep Mixing
- Whisk for a few more seconds. Make sure the mixture stays smooth with no lumps.
Fill the Molds
- Use a dropper to fill the gummy bear molds. Work slowly so each mold fills neatly.
Chill the Gummies
- Place the mold in the fridge. Chill for at least one hour until the gummies become firm.
Remove the Gummies
- Push the gummies out of the mold gently. They should pop out clean and easy.
Coat With Citric Acid
- Mix a little citric acid with sugar. Toss the gummies lightly for a sour coating.
Serve Fresh
- Serve the gummies right away or store them for later. Enjoy the sweet and sour bite.
Notes
- Use silicone molds for easy removal.
- Do not boil the juice.
- Add more gelatin for firmer gummies.
- Adjust citric acid for more sour flavor.
- Store gummies in a cool and dry place.
