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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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