Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh raspberries or frozen, thawed
  • ¾ cup cold water divided
  • ⅓ cup honey raw best
  • 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

Puree the Raspberries

  • Rinse fresh raspberries gently. Add to blender with ¼ cup water. Blend smooth. Pour through fine sieve over bowl. Press pulp firmly. Discard seeds. Get 1 ½ cups vibrant juice. Pure fruit base ready.

Bloom Gelatin Properly

  • Measure ¾ cup cold water in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over surface. Don't stir. Let bloom 10 minutes. Looks wrinkly. Essential for smooth gummies. Patience pays off here.

Cook Raspberry Base

  • Pour strained puree into saucepan. Add honey and salt. Warm over medium-low heat. Stir until steaming gently. 3-4 minutes. Don't boil yet. Sweet fruit syrup forms.

Dissolve Gelatin Completely

  • Add bloomed gelatin to warm raspberry mixture. Whisk vigorously 2 minutes. See it dissolve fully. No grainy bits. Smooth hot liquid. Smells heavenly already.

Add Final Flavors

  • Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Brightens flavor. Taste carefully (hot!). Adjust honey if needed. Strain once more. Double smooth perfection.

Fill Gummy Molds

  • Pour into squeeze bottle or use dropper. Fill molds carefully. Overfill slightly. Tap molds on counter. Remove air bubbles. Wipe edges clean. Beautiful gummies forming.

Chill and Unmold

  • Refrigerate 2-3 hours until firm. Pop out easily from silicone. Dust lightly with arrowroot if sticky. Store immediately. Ready for snacking bliss.

Notes

  • Always bloom gelatin in cold liquid first.
  • Use silicone molds. Easy release guaranteed.
  • Fresh lemon juice essential for tart balance.
  • Variation: Mixed berries for rainbow gummies.
  • Orange juice swap for citrus twist.
  • Add 1 tsp camu camu for vitamin C boost.
  • Vegan: Use agar powder (double amount).
  • Layer flavors in same mold.
