Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons gelatin or agar-agar powder
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Start by washing and hulling the strawberries. Blend them until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, combine the blended strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and water. Warm this mixture over medium heat, being careful not to let it boil.
- Gradually whisk in the gelatin or agar-agar until it dissolves completely.

- Refrigerate for about 120-240 minutes, or until the gummies firm up.
- Once set, gently remove the gummies from the molds and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions: Use agave syrup instead of honey or maple syrup for a vegan option. Fresh, ripe strawberries will give the best flavor. Gelatin gives gummies their chewy texture, while lemon juice adds a bright zing. Optional add-ins: Consider mixing in a few mint leaves for an extra layer of freshness.
