Homemade Peach Ring Gummies: A Sweet and Chewy Treat
Craving a sweet, chewy snack that’s also made from real fruit? These Homemade Peach Ring Gummies are a fun and healthier alternative to store-bought candies. Made with fresh peaches, honey, and a splash of orange juice, these gummies are full of natural flavors and can be customized with or without a sweet sugar coating. Whether you’re making them for yourself or as a treat for the kids, these gummies will satisfy your sweet tooth!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb peaches, peeled and sliced (defrosted frozen peaches can be used)
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp + 1 tsp gelatin
- 2 tbsp honey
Optional:
- Granulated sweetener for coating
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Puree:
In a blender or food processor, add the peeled peaches and orange juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully liquid.
2. Strain the Mixture:
Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium-sized pot and strain the peach mixture. Use a silicone spatula to press the pulp and extract as much juice as possible. You should end up with about 1 1/4 cups of juice after straining.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
Pour the strained peach juice into the pot and add the honey. Stir well to combine.
4. Bloom the Gelatin:
Sprinkle the gelatin over the peach mixture and gently stir. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes to thicken and bloom.
5. Heat the Mixture:
Transfer the pot to the stove and heat over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should become fully liquid and smooth as the gelatin dissolves.
6. Mold the Gummies:
Using a dropper, carefully transfer the liquid into silicone gummy molds, or pour the mixture into a large glass container if you don’t have molds.
7. Chill and Set:
Place the molds or container in the fridge and let the gummies set for 4-6 hours, or until they are firm and fully set.
8. Remove and Coat:
Once set, carefully remove the gummies from the molds. If you want to mimic the classic peach ring texture, toss the gummies in granulated sweetener.
9. Store and Enjoy:
Store your homemade peach ring gummies in the fridge to keep them fresh. Enjoy them as a delicious, chewy snack whenever you like!
