Description
These easy homemade fruit gummies are made with real fruit jam, giving them a deliciously tangy and chewy texture. No artificial ingredients, just pure fruity goodness!
Ingredients
-
1 jar (13 oz) strawberry, blackberry, or blueberry jam
-
3/4 cup lemon juice (or water)
-
2 tablespoons fruit pectin
-
2 tablespoons collagen (optional, for extra chewiness)

Granulated sugar, for coating (adjust to taste)
Instructions
-
In a saucepan, mix jam with lemon juice (or water).
-
Sprinkle in pectin and collagen, then whisk until smooth.
-
Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle bubble. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens into a smooth, syrupy consistency.
-
Pour into gummy bear molds or a parchment-lined 9×9 baking dish.
-
Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until fully set.
-
Remove gummies from molds (or cut into squares if using a baking dish).
-
Toss in granulated sugar for a sweet-tart coating.
-
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
