Cranberry Gummies
With only a couple of ingredients, you can make a ton of Cranberry Gummy Snacks packed full of antioxidants, gut-healing gelatine and nutrients that are ready to enjoy throughout the week.
Grass-Fed Gelatine
When mixed with water, gelatine is a gel-like substance that makes for a healthy snack for your family.
Grass-fed gelatine comes from grass-fed beef that have a better beef nutritional profile whereas grain-fed gelatine comes from grain-fed beef. Grain-fed beef comes from cattle that have poor living conditions and have been pumped with antibiotics.
Using grass-fed gelatine in these gummies
- Helps provide protein to the skin adding moisture and elasticity
- Can help heal the intestinal track, calming inflammation and any irritations
- Helps support joint and cartilage health
- Can help improve bone health
- Contains amino acids
- Can help repair the gut lining which is great for those dealing with leaky gut issues
Storing Cranberry Gummies
To store these gummies, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
To freeze for up to 3 months, place them in a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer. Defrost over in the fridge before consuming.
Gummy Notes
- Use unsweetened, pure cranberry juice to make these gummies
- To keep your gummies from being too sticky, you can sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of cornflour over your finished gummies, add the lid to the container and gently shake until they are all lightly covered.
- As these are made with an animal product (gelatine), they do need to be kept in the fridge.
- Once the liquid has cooled, you can taste it for sweetness. You make want to add more or less sweetener in your next batch.
- These gummies can be made with other flavours using 1:1, except for pineapple, mango or papaya juice. These juices contains bromelain, which will stop your gummies from setting properly. Though, you can try using 50% pineapple juice and 50% of another juice such as orange or pomegranate.
- Mould – You can use any mould you want. If you don’t have a mould, you can pour into a glass baking dish and cut into small pieces once set.
- Instead of honey, you could try using maple syrup or agave, apple sauce. stevia, though I haven’t tried this myself.
- You can make your own fruit puree and use that instead of juice.
- Try adding a dash of fresh ginger or turmeric or a bit of cinnamon for a bit more flavour.
Ingredients for Making Cranberry Gummies
To make around 70 gummies, depending on the mould used, you will need:
- 1 Cup Cranberry Juice
- 2 TBSP Honey
- 4 TBSP Grass-fed Beef Gelatine
- Silicon Mould that was used
Making Gummies
Sit the mould onto a baking tray or cutting board.
Place the cranberry juice and honey into a small saucepan.
Slowly heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling. The honey should melt. Stir to mix through.
Remove from the heat and slowly add 1 TBSP of the gelatine in at a time, mixing until all is incorporated.
Carefully pour the mixture into the mould. You may want to use a pipette to drop the mixture into the small cavities in the mould.
Place the mould in the fridge for a few hours until set. If you have placed a board or tray underneath, it makes it easy to pick this up and place it in the fridge.
When set, remove from the mould and store in an airtight container.
