Blood Orange Gummy Candy
Eat your oranges in gummy form. These are easy to make and fun to eat!
Ingredients
- 2 medium oranges, peeled
- 3 packets (about 3 tablespoons) gelatin
- 2 tbsp sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the peeled oranges in half to remove any seeds.
- Using a blender, blend the oranges into a juice.
- Pour the orange juice into a pot or sauce pan and warm over medium low heat. Do not boil.
- Add the gelatin and sugar to the orange juice and stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, taste for sweetness and add more sugar if desired.
- Pour the mixture into candy molds or in a flat bottomed dish. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.
- After the gummies are fully cooled and firm to the touch, remove from the candy molds or dish. If using a dish, slice into cubes or any shape desired.
Notes
For this recipe, I blended the whole peeled oranges, including the part that separates each segment. I found that juicing the oranges by hand didn't yield much juice and wasn't worth the effort. Using the whole orange is probably also more nutritious.
