Homemade Orange Gummy Bears Recipe

Print Friendly, PDF & EmailPrint Friendly

Orange Gummy WM

We are lucky enough to have a huge orange tree in our back yard, so we are always looking for new ways to take advantage of the oranges we have.

We’re also always looking for ways to get grass fed gelatin in our diets, when its too warm to be chugging bone broth.  With our oldest recovering from scoliosis this is especially important.  Its like eating bones! It doesn’t get more paleo than that.

Grass fed gelatin is a great source of collagen, you know the stuff people inject in their lips and foreheads?  Its edible botox! 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup of juiced oranges, or other fruit juice
  • 3 Tbsp Grass Fed Gelatin
  • 2-3 Tbsp Raw Honey (I find that 2 is plenty but some might like it sweeter)

Directions: 

1- Heat it up enough to dissolve it, stirring constantly (but don’t boil it because you’ll kill the awesome probiotic qualities in the raw honey).

2- Pour into these awesome silicone molds.

There are also these gummy bear ones which are super cute.

3- Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.  I wish I could tell you how long they last but the truth is in my house things last about 30 seconds.  Unless I hide things.

4- Enjoy!

    Hello, thank you for this wonderful recipe. I have heard about making these but I am wondering if this version comes out like a true gummy (bear/worm consistency) or if it is more like a fruit snack and needs to be refrigerated or eaten after several days before it goes bad. I would like to give them out as Christmas gifts to my Pilates family, since collagen is great for many things including joints. ; )

    Hello Sylvie, I just made these and they are good!!! (Some other recipe I found on the internet and tried a while ago smelled awful (think: Meat candy) and didn’t taste good at all, so I remained cautious and unconvinced how these would be…)
    My young son likes them!! Hurray!
    I asked him how many he would give these out of ten, and he enthusiastically said, “…ah….One Hundred!”
    Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! 🙂
    It is wonderful to have a healthy, easy ‘treat’ I can whip up for him in no time, and feel good about giving them to him.
    One thing I’d add to the recipe for readers is to mix it all beforehand while juice is room temperature, not while heating. I added the gelatin to the already heating juice in the pan and got a big lump of goo that would not dissolve. Fail. Had to try again, but so glad I did 🙂 Thank you again x

      Hi Natasja,

      Glad you like the recipe 🙂

      You can eat as many as you feel comfortable eating. I usually get bored after 3 or so. Hope that helps,
      Sylvie

    Hi Sylvie, I just wanted to ask if you could use Xylitol as a sweetener as opposed to honey? Thanks, Mark

      Mark, I imagine the recipe would still work as I don’t think the honey affects the volume too much (although I couldn’t guarantee that without trying it). I recommend natural sweeteners whenever possible. If it’s from a carb perspective, what about giving stevia a shot? (Note there are more and less natural forms of stevia on the market. SweetLeaf without flavorings seems to be a good one). Hope that helps and let me know if you give it a shot!

    I’ve made this several times now and love it. My problem with the reipe is this, the edges “harden” to the point of not being enjoyable. What am I doing wrong? Thank you 🙂

      Hi Rose,

      I’m glad you’re loving it! You can try decreasing the gelatin quantity a tiny bit and see if that helps (not too much or it will be more like jello and hard to take out of the molds without falling apart).

      Hope that helps!
