Homemade Citrus Gelatin Gummies

1. Juice your oranges and lemons; combine the fresh juices.
2. Add the beef gelatin to ¼ cup of cool or room-temperature combined juice in a bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes to bloom.
3. Add ¼ cup hot water to the bloomed gelatin mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
4. Stir in the remaining citrus juice and 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (if desired for sweetness).
5. Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds.
6. Refrigerate for about 1–2 hours, or until completely set.
7. Pop the gummies out and enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

*Optional: For any extra mixture, pour it into a small Pyrex or glass dish, add fresh orange slices, and refrigerate until set. Then slice into squares.

*Tip: Do not boil the fresh juice. For a firmer, chewier gummy, increase the gelatin to 4 tablespoons per 1¼–1½ cups total liquid.
