Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Elderberry Gummy Vitamins at Home.
Step 1
In a sturdy saucepan, blend dried elderberries, distilled water, dried rosehips, dried hibiscus flowers, freshly grated ginger, a cinnamon stick, and whole cloves.
Step 2
Heat the mixture until it reaches a rolling boil, then lower the heat and let it gently simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to infuse the flavors.
Step 3
After simmering, strain the concoction through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing down to extract every drop of juice from the berries.
Step 4
Discard the leftover solids and return the vibrant liquid to the saucepan over low heat.
Step 5
Sprinkle gelatin over the warm mixture and whisk until it dissolves completely.
Step 6
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool until it feels warm but not hot.
Step 7
Gently fold in raw honey and pureed strawberries, ensuring everything is well combined.
Step 8
Pour the luscious mixture into fun-shaped silicone molds or a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan for easy cutting later.
Step 9
Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the gummies are firm to the touch.
Step 10
Once set, carefully pop the gummies out of the molds or slice them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 11
Store your delightful creations in an airtight container in the refrigerator, ready to enjoy whenever you crave a fruity treat.
Step 12
For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before refrigerating for a delightful contrast in flavor.
