2 heaping cups berries (i used an antioxidant blend from whole foods of blueberries, strawberries, dark cherries & pomegranates)

½ cup coconut water or regular water

¼ cup lemon juice

2-3 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or monk fruit

¼ cup grass-fed gelatin (*I used the brand Further Foods)

1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold liquid in a small saucepan and let sit for 5-10 min until thick and spongy

2. In a small saucepan, heat the juices over medium heat until warm/hot, but not boiling.

3. Turn off the heat and whisk in the honey.

4. Transfer the liquid into your gummy molds. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm (time varies depending on how large your gummies are!). Once firm, remove from the molds and enjoy! Store at room-temp or in the fridge!

5. In a high powered blender, add the fruit, lemon juice, sweetener, optional collagen, and coconut water or regular water. Blend a few minutes until completely smooth. If you have lots of seeds or chunks that won't blend and you don't want them in your gummies, you can strain the mixture, but I didn't worry about this! You can taste it and adjust the sweetener as you'd like.

6. Pour the mixture into a large sauce pan and heat over low heat. Once it's warm, sprinkle over the gelatin and whisk it in for a few minutes until no lumps remain. If you find stubborn lumps that won't whisk in, simply remove the small chunks with a spoon.

7. Pour the mixture into a greased glass container to later cut into pieces OR distribute the mixture amongst whatever mold you use.

8. Let the mixture set at room temperature for an hour, then transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes-an hour before removing from the mold. If using a glass container, cut them into squares before trying to remove them with a spatula. If you go to remove them and they are sticking to the mold, let them stay in the fridge longer! Different fruits can set up differently.

9. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Gummies will soften some (but still hold together) if left out at room temperature - this is how I prefer to eat them, but they are real fruit so store them in the fridge most of the time! I let them sit at room temp for a few minutes and then enjoy!
