Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (10 grams / 0.35 oz) gelatin
- 1 pound (454 grams / 16 oz) peaches, peeled and sliced (defrosted frozen peaches can be used)
- ⅓ cup (79 milliliters / 2.67 fl oz) orange juice
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (31 milliliters / 1 fl oz) honey
- Granulated sweetener (optional coating)
Instructions
- Preparation: Blend ripe peaches with orange juice until achieving a smooth, velvety liquid, ensuring no chunks remain.
- Strain and Combine: Press the peach mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a medium pot, incorporating honey and mixing thoroughly.
- Gelatin Activation: Sprinkle gelatin evenly across the liquid, gently folding to distribute, then allow two minutes for activation and absorption.
- Heating Process: Warm the mixture on low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring consistently to dissolve gelatin completely and create a uniform texture.
- Molding: Transfer the liquid using a dropper into silicone gummy molds or pour into a glass container, ensuring even distribution.
- Setting: Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until gummies become firm and fully solidified, maintaining their shape and structural integrity.
- Finishing Touches: Carefully remove gummies from molds, optionally dusting with granulated sweetener to emulate traditional peach ring coating.
- Storage: Keep the gummies refrigerated to preserve their vibrant flavor and maintain optimal texture.
Notes
- Maximize Juice Extraction: Press peach mixture firmly through a fine mesh strainer to capture maximum flavor and eliminate pulp.
- Gelatin Activation Technique: Let gelatin rest for 2 minutes before heating to ensure proper thickening and smooth texture.
- Low and Slow Heating: Warm mixture on low heat while stirring constantly to prevent burning and maintain optimal gelatin structure.
- Storage Tip: Keep homemade gummies refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent rapid breakdown of texture.
