Description

Sweet and Sour Watermelon Gummies are a refreshing and naturally flavored treat made with real watermelon juice, lemon juice, honey, and gelatin. These homemade gummies are lightly coated with a tangy sugar and citric acid mixture, providing the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. They are easy to prepare, requiring just a few simple ingredients, and set quickly in the refrigerator for a delightful, chewy snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups watermelon cubes, seeds and rind removed
  • 2 tbsp unflavored grass fed beef gelatin powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp honey

For Coating

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp citric acid

Instructions

  1. Blend Watermelon: Place the watermelon cubes into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth to extract all the natural juice and flavor.
  2. Strain Juice: Pour the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove pulp and obtain clear juice.
  3. Measure Juice: Measure out 1 ½ cups of the strained watermelon juice and transfer it to a saucepan for cooking.
  4. Add Ingredients: Whisk in the lemon juice, unflavored gelatin powder, and honey into the watermelon juice until well combined.
  5. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and gently warm the mixture, stirring constantly until the gelatin and honey dissolve completely, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
  6. Mold Gummies: Pour the warm gelatin mixture into silicone molds for shaping the gummies.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the molds for at least one hour or until the gummies are fully set and firm to the touch.
  8. Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, combine sugar and citric acid evenly.
  9. Coat Gummies: Remove the set gummies from the molds and toss them gently in the sugar and citric acid mixture until they are fully coated for a tangy and sweet finish.

Notes

  • Do not boil the gelatin mixture as it can affect the texture of the gummies.
  • Using fresh watermelon and grass-fed gelatin will yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Silicone molds work best for easy removal of gummies.
  • Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Citric acid adds a tangy flavor and helps preserve the gummies slightly.
