    Tart Cherry & Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies

    Tart Cherry Juice & Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies are a tasty, fun way of preparing a traditional remedy for gout ... but are great for everyone!

    Recently, I got into making gummy candies.

    Having moved home to Canada, I have access to SO many amazing gummy candies. I have no idea why they're better here than back in the USA, but they just are - a fact that wasn't lost on friends back in MN.

    I used to buy 40+ lbs of gummies every time I'd visit home - I love Bulk Barn! - mix them up and divvy them between friends who'd placed "orders" for however many lbs they wanted. I got a lot of weird looks from border guards, LOL.

    ... but, as I'm coming to realize... traditional gummies are an awful gout trigger for me. Boo. It was fun while it lasted!

    Homemade Tart Cherry & Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies

    So, now I make my own, with fruit or fruit juices (and some other, more wild ingredients... stay tuned!), honey, and gelatin.

    It's super easy to do, taking less than 10 minutes of work, and super satisfying. I'm particularly fond of the gummy worms, it's just such a fun texture and wriggle.

    In the case of these - which I've nicknamed "Goutie Bears" - or just "gouties" - I basically just gelatinized 2 ingredients that gout sufferers are supposed to consume frequently - tart cherry juice, and apple cider vinegar.

    Not the worst thing in the world, but gets boring to drink every day - gummies are much more fun!

    Aside from gout, apple cider vinegar and tart cherry juice - separate or together - are supposed to have all sorts of other health benefits.

    They're regularly touted as anti inflammatory agents, tart cherry juice is supposed to help you with sleep, etc.

    I honestly don't know much about any of that, I'm just dutifully trying to stave off any further gout attacks (two years since the last one, woot!), and it does seem to help.

    Not a gout sufferer?

    No worries, I'll be posting more gummy recipes in the new future. It's such a fun and easy thing to do, requiring minimal equipment - something very important, these days!

    Homemade Gummy Candies

    Gummy candy making has definitely been a fun - and tasty - way to spend some self isolation time, and I'd imagine it would be a great project for kids to do.

    It's certainly easy enough for kids to do, even with minimal supervison.

    In terms of the molds, I like using silicone molds that are specifically meant for gummies - it just feels more "legit", IMHO. I'm not stuck on them being bears or worms, though. As pictured, THIS is the set I used for the photo. I also used THIS set, though those ones aren't pictured here.

    The molds for that second set are a lot larger, so they fill up a lot quicker. They're super cute cartoonish dinosaurs... which is important, when you're talking about gout remedies, right? 🙂

    I wish THIS set was available in Canada, because it's super cute.

    Maybe when the borders open up, I'll order it and send it to a friend in Buffalo... I just have no idea when I'll next see them.

    There are a ton of different kinds of gummy molds available - fruit, stars, hearts, dinosaurs, etc. Just have fun with it!

    The amount of molds you'd need will vary based on the mold, but in the style shown, this recipe uses about 4 trays/1 set.

    A Couple of Notes:

    - If you don't have gummy molds, you can just pour the whole batch into a 9x13 pan, cutting into squares when set.

    Alternatively, silicone mini muffin pans work great!

    - Try to use these within a few days.

    They will keep in the fridge for about a week, but will mold pretty quickly if let out at room temperature.

    Equipment

    Gummy Molds

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cups Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice
    • ⅓ cup Unflavoured Gelatin Powder
    • ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
    • ⅓ cup Honey

    Instructions

    • In a small pot, whisk together cherry juice, gelatin powder, and apple cider vinegar. Add honey, whisk until honey dissolves a bit.
    • Heat mixture over medium heat, until gelatin is completely dissolve and mixture is smooth. Turn head down to lowest setting
    • Working quickly, use eye dropper to transfer mixture to clean gummy molds.
    • Allow gummies to set - it'll take an hour or so at room temperature, or 10-15 minutes if refrigerated.
      I like to allow it to gel a bit - about 10 minutes - at room temperature before chilling. It lowers the chances of a messy spill when transferring to the fridge!
    • Once set, pop candies out of the mold and transfer to an airtight container or zipper baggie.

    Notes

    Try to use these within a few days.
    If you don't have gummy molds, you can just pour the whole batch into a 9x13 pan, cutting into squares when set.  Alternatively, silicone mini muffin pans work great!

        Definitely! Ideally it's one with not much flavour though

      Why do they only keep for a few days? I’d hope to keep them for at a least a week!

        The gelatin grows mold really fast, absent anything to prevent it.

        I think the longest I've kept these has been about 5 days, in the fridge.

            Honestly, I have no idea. Never tried!

            Given the nature of how it gels, though, I'm assuming thawing them would cause them to lose their shape, maybe liquify?

      Are the proportions correct in the recipie. 1/3 cup of gelatin seems like a lot. Or need more liquid. I made them and the are setting now. Very thick of the heat.

        Yes, as we're going for a gummy candy texture, rather than a Jello texture.

      Can I use maple syrup instead of honey. I'm allergic to honey.
