You Will Need (5 things)

  • Silicone Candy Mold
  • 2 packets Knox Gelatin Powder
  • Fruit Juice
  • Honey
  • Oil for greasing mold(s)

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Prepare silicone candy mold(s) by greasing very lightly. I used coconut oil, but use whatever you would ordinarily use to grease a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Measure fruit juice and pour it into a small saucepan. If juice is cold, warm it up just barely (to room temperature) otherwise just use it as is.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the packets of gelatin over the top of the juice a little bit at a time, pausing to whisk it in thoroughly to avoid clumping.

  4. 4

    Warm the mixture to almost boiling over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam that has accumulated on top.

  5. 5

    Carefully pour the mixture into prepared silicone candy molds (can also be poured into a lightly oiled baking dish and cut into bite-sized pieces once cool).

  6. 6

    Refrigerate until fully set, about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container, either in the pantry, or for longer storage, keep in the refrigerator.
