Ingredients

4 tablespoons grass-fed Gelatin, mixed into 1/2 cup water
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 cups frozen mixed berries
1-2 tablespoon honey, or any other sweetener
1 cup water

Method

• Mix your gelatin and water in a small bowl and set aside for a few minutes to soften and bloom
• In a saucepan, add the rest of your ingredients and turn to low heat
• Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until berries have softened. I like to taste test here to make sure enough of the berry flavour has come through. If not, cook for another few minutes
• Once you’re happy with the taste, strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pouring jug
• Now add your gelatin mixture and stir constantly until the gelatin has dissolved (approx 1 minute)
• Once dissolved, pour into whatever moulds you like – silicone ones work best
• Set aside to cool at room temperature, then place into the fridge for 3-5 hours to completely set
• Once set, pop out of moulds and enjoy cool. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

A few notes

• If you’re having trouble popping them out of the moulds without breaking, try freezing for 10 minutes – they should pop out very easily then
• You can save your strained berries and make jam! Simply add 1 tsp sweetener and mash vigorously for a few minutes until all berries have been broken down. Store in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 2 weeks
• You can use whatever flavour combinations you like with your jellies
• If you like your gummies more firm, only add 3/4 cup water to the saucepan,  Similarly, if you like them more of a jelly ‘jiggly’ consistency, add up to 1&1/2 cups water to your saucepan
• If you’d like to make the rose and berry gummies  (my version of turkish delight 😉), add 1-2tbls rose petals when you cook the berries. Then add 1 block melted dark choc on the top when the gummies have slightly set, but before you put in the fridge.
