Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Combine the orange juice and gelatin powder in a small saucepan.
You can use store-bought orange juice, but it would be much better if you used freshly-squeezed orange juice.
You will need about 4 to 5 medium-sized oranges.
You can also use other types of citrus, such as blood orange, clementine, and grapefruit. -
Step 2: Wait for the gelatin to "bloom"
It will take 2 to 3 minutes for the gelatin to dissolve into the orange juice.Once it turns thick and lumpy, give the mixture a stir with a whisk., This will take about 5 to 6 minutes.Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
The gelatin must dissolve all the way.
If you rub the mixture between you thumb and finger, and if it feels grainy, it's not ready yet., This is very important, as too much heat may destroy the beneficial properties of the honey and vitamin C powder., Depending on how sweet you like your gummies, you will need 2 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 90 grams) of honey.
The more honey you add, the sweeter the gummies will be.
You can also add in some vanilla extract and/or orange extract for extra flavor., You can use a small sauce ladle, a dropper, squeeze bottle, or syringe to do this.
If you can't find any gummy molds, you can use very small silicone ice cube molds instead.
You can also pour the mixture into a large loaf pan, but you will need to cut them into squares later., This will take about 2 to 3 hours, but it may take as long as 4 hours.If you are in a hurry, you can chill them in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes., Simply pop them out of the molds.
If you poured the mixture into a loaf pan, you will need to cut them into small, ½ to 1-inch (1.27 to
2.54-centimeter) squares first., Jars and Tupperware containers are great choices.
Store them in the fridge, and eat them within 2 to 3 weeks. -
