1

Preparing the Citrus Juice

Squeeze the citrus fruits of your choice to extract the juice. You can use a juicer or manually squeeze the fruits. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.

2

Mixing the Ingredients

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of citrus juice, 1/4 cup of honey or agave syrup, and 1/4 cup of gelatin powder. Whisk everything together until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

3

Heating the Mixture

Place the saucepan over low heat and warm the mixture. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom. Heat until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened.

4

Pouring into Molds

Carefully pour the warm mixture into silicone gummy molds. You can find a variety of fun shapes and sizes online or at baking supply stores. Fill each mold cavity to the top.

5

Chilling and Setting

Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours or until set. This will allow the gummy candies to fully solidify and hold their shape.

6

Removing from Molds

Once the gummy candies have set, gently pop them out of the molds. If they're stubborn, you can flex the molds to release the candies. Enjoy the satisfying release!

7

Storage and Enjoyment

Store the citrus-infused gummy candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Remember to savor each chewy piece and share with friends (if you're feeling generous).
