Growing up, my mom would make apple-carrot-beet juice for me and my sister. It was so tasty and nutritious, and today, my kids enjoy that same recipe! So I incorporated that same recipe into jellies- they turned out delicious. I wanted to use Halloween-themed molds, but any shaped mold will do.
Ingredients:
𦓠1 cup diced apples (I used Gala apples)
𦓠1/4 cup diced carrots
𦓠A little less than 1/4 cup chopped cooked beets
𦓠3/4 cup pure apple juice (I used one without added sugars)
𦓠1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juiceĀ
𦓠3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, optionalĀ
𦓠3 tablespoons water
𦓠3 tablespoons of gelatin (I used grass-fed)
Method:
-
Add apples, carrots, cooked beets, apple juice, lemon juice, and maple syrup to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.Ā Transfer it to a saucepan.Ā
-
Bring the mixture to a boil (while mixing it a couple of times) and turn the heat off. Set it aside.
-
Add 3 tablespoons of gelatin to a heat-safe glass bowl or container. Then add 3 tablespoons of water to the gelatin, mix, and allow to sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
-
Add the heated liquid to the bloomed gelatin.Ā Ā Mix very well until gelatin dissolves and clumps/lumps disappear (for about a minute or so). Allow to sit for 3 minutes. Note: Mix it one last time before spooning it into the mold.Ā
-
Place the gummy molds on a baking sheet and spoon the liquid into the gummy molds.Ā Transfer the baking sheet with the gummy molds to the refrigerator. Allow to chill for 1 hour or until theyāre set.Ā Note: jellies in smaller sized molds might firm up faster than jellies in larger sized molds.Ā
-
Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator.Ā Enjoy!
