  • Total Time: 40 mins

Yield: 2 cups gummies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh watermelon, cut into chunks
  • 5 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeeze lemon juice

Instructions

  1. First add the fresh watermelon and lemon juice to a blender and blend until liquid
  2. Strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh strainer (discarding the pulp)
  3. Divide the juice by adding half to a small saucepan and the other half to a large bowl
  4. Add the grass fed gelatin to the juice in the bowl by sprinkling it over the surface
  5. Let it sit for a few minutes so that it dissolves into the juice (it will solidify)
  6. Gently heat the watermelon juice in the saucepan just to warm it (do not bring it to a boil or simmer)
  7. Add the gelatin & juice mixture to the rest of the juice in the saucepan
  8. Whisk or stir to combine until the liquid is smooth
  9. Pour the gelatin mixture into molds or a refrigerator safe pan
  10. Chill until set, about 30 minutes and then either remove the gelatin from the mold or slice it into pieces
  11. Coat in some sugar if desired (I usually don’t!)
  12. Can be stored at room temperature but I love them cold!
