Ingredients

Instructions
Prepare the Watermelon Juice
- Cut fresh watermelon into cubes. Remove seeds. Blend until smooth. Strain the juice to remove pulp.
Measure the Juice
- Pour the strained juice into a measuring cup. You need one cup of fresh watermelon juice.
Bloom the Gelatin
- Sprinkle gelatin over half of the juice. Let it sit for five minutes. This helps gelatin absorb liquid.
Heat the Remaining Juice
- Pour the remaining juice into a saucepan. Heat on low flame. Do not boil the juice.
Add Honey
- Add honey to the warm juice. Whisk gently until the honey dissolves completely.
Mix Gelatin with Juice
- Add bloomed gelatin to the warm juice. Whisk slowly until fully dissolved.
Remove from Heat
- Turn off the heat once gelatin melts fully. Do not let the mixture boil.
Pour into Molds
- Carefully pour the liquid into silicone molds. Use a spoon if needed.
Chill the Gummies
- Place molds in the refrigerator. Chill for at least two hours until fully set.
Unmold and Enjoy
- Remove gummies gently from molds. Serve fresh or store for later use.
Notes
- Use very ripe watermelon for the best natural sweetness.
- Always strain the juice for smooth gummies.
- Do not boil gelatin. It will stop setting properly.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal.
- Replace honey with maple syrup if needed.
- Add a little lemon juice for a tangy taste.
- Use fun-shaped molds for kids.
- For vegan option, use agar agar instead of gelatin.
