Sweet And Sour Gummies
Here is an easy, delicious and fun recipe to make gummies full of vitamin C and gelatin.
Traditional gummy bears are loaded with corn syrup, artificial colors and other health-harming ingredients. Here is a health conscious version which uses grass-fed gelatin, organic lemon and orange juice and sugar (or Stevia) to create delicious, super-chewy, gummy treats rich in powerful amino acids that help build collagen, protect joints and promote digestive health.
You can keep it simple and pour the mixture right into a pan and then slice into squares. Or you can buy a fun mold. I like to use silicon molds. They are a little more expensive but less toxic than plastic.
