Raspberry Lemonade Gummies Snack (Printable View)

Tangy raspberry and lemon blend for chewy, honey-sweetened gummies with an energizing fruity taste.

# Ingredient List:

→ Gummy Base

01 - 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
02 - 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 6 to 8 lemons)
03 - 1/2 cup filtered water
04 - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
05 - 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

→ Electrolyte Additions (Optional)

07 - 1/4 teaspoon magnesium citrate powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon potassium chloride powder

→ Garnishes and Adjustments (Optional)

09 - 1 to 2 tablespoons additional honey or maple syrup, to taste
10 - Lemon zest for garnish

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine raspberries and filtered water in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Allow raspberries to thaw if using frozen.
02 - Pour the berry purée through a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Press with a spoon to extract juice and remove seeds for a smooth consistency.
03 - Transfer the strained raspberry juice and fresh lemon juice into a medium saucepan.
04 - Stir in honey or maple syrup and sea salt. If using, add magnesium citrate and potassium chloride at this stage.
05 - Taste the liquid and add 1 to 2 tablespoons additional sweetener if desired, accounting for the slight dilution of sweetness from gelatin.
06 - Sprinkle unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the mixture and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
07 - Warm the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, without boiling.
08 - Pour the liquid evenly into silicone candy molds or a lined baking pan. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
09 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until gummies are fully set and firm to the touch.
10 - Gently remove gummies from molds. Garnish with lemon zest if desired and store refrigerated in an airtight container.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For optimal texture, do not boil the gelatin mixture, as excessive heat can compromise setting quality.
02 - Adjust sweetener to taste; the gelatin mixture will be less sweet once set.
03 - Gummies may be stored refrigerated for up to 7 days.
