Homemade Sour Watermelon Gummies

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh watermelon, cut into chunks (or 2 cups juice)
  • 7 tbl grass fed gelatin
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Optional, depending on the sweetness / ripeness of your watermelon: 1/4 cup raw honey

Directions

  1. Add the fresh watermelon to a blender and liquefy.
  2. Strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the pulp - you should have about 2 cups of juice.
  3. Skim the small amount of white foam from the top of the watermelon juice and discard.
  4. Divide the juice: add half to a small saucepan and the other half to a bowl.
  5. Add the grass fed gelatin to the juice in the bowl by sprinkling it over the surface. Let it sit for a few minutes so that it dissolves into the juice. It will solidify.
  6. Gently heat the watermelon juice in the saucepan just to warm it - do not bring it to a boil or simmer.
  7. Add the gelatin & juice mixture to the rest of the juice in the saucepan. Whisk or stir to combine until the liquid is smooth.
  8. Add the raw honey and lemon juice; whisk until dissolved and combined.
  9. Pour the gelatin mixture into molds or a refrigerator safe pan.
  10. Chill until set, about 30 minutes and then either remove the gelatin from the mold or slice it into pieces.
