Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fruit juice apple, orange, or grape work well
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powdered
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions
 

  • Place your silicone gummy bear molds on a baking tray so they are easy to move to the refrigerator later.
  • In a small saucepan, mix the fruit juice with the honey. Heat over medium heat and stir until the mixture begins to simmer. Remove it from the heat as soon as small bubbles form.
