Collagen Fruit Jellies (Printable)

Chewy, naturally sweet fruit jellies boosted with collagen for a healthy, guilt-free snack the whole family will love.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup (240 ml) 100% fruit juice (orange, mixed berries, or apple)

02 - 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, optional, to taste

03 - 2 tablespoons (about 20 g) grass-fed collagen peptides

04 - 3 tablespoons (about 30 g) unflavored gelatin powder

01 - Pour the fruit juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes to bloom.

02 - Set the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not allow the mixture to boil.

03 - Remove from heat. Add the collagen peptides and honey or maple syrup if using, stirring thoroughly until fully combined.

04 - Transfer the mixture into silicone molds or a small baking dish lined with parchment paper.

05 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the jellies are completely firm and set.

06 - Remove the jellies from the molds. If using a baking dish, cut into bite-sized squares with a paring knife.

07 - Keep the jellies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

These take almost zero effort but look like something from a fancy health food shop.
The collagen is completely tasteless, so you get all the skin and joint benefits without any weird texture.

02 -

If the gelatin does not bloom properly before heating, you will end up with clumpy bits that never dissolve, so patience in those first 3 minutes really matters.
Boiling the mixture destroys the gelling power of gelatin, so keep the heat low and gentle the entire time.

03 -

Spray your molds with the faintest mist of neutral oil before pouring and every single jelly will release perfectly without tearing.
Let the mixture cool for about five minutes before pouring into molds and the bubbles will rise and pop on their own, giving you crystal clear jellies.
