HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS

Ingredients

1+¾ cups Fruit Puree ( fruit of your choice )
¾ cup Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
¾ tsp Stevia Extract
15 to 20 Food coloring
40g (¼ cup) Unflavored Gelatin
Instructions

*Wash your fruits and puree in a blender. Measure 1+¾ cups of the puree and place in a medium-sized bowl.
Stir in the lemon juice, stevia and food coloring.
It helps to have another person help you here. Have one person spread open a nut milk bag** over a large bowl while you pour the fruit mixture inside. Tie the bag closed and squeeze the bag to get as much liquid out as you can. You should get 2+¼ cups of the mixture after straining.
Pour the mixture into a nonstick saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin overtop and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir it together and smush any big clumps of gelatin, don’t worry about the small ones, they’ll dissolve)
Place the pan over medium-high heat and stir occasionally, until it comes to a light boil. Stir constantly when the mixture boils harder.
When you can’t stir the bubbles away, keep it on the heat for ~30 seconds and then remove from the heat.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the foam/bubbles have a chance to go away, then carefully scoop the mixture into your molds of choice (I used a ¼ cup measuring cup to pour it into the gummy bear mold)
Let the molds cool on the counter for about an hour, then place them in the fridge. Refrigerate until firm.
