Start by sprinkling the grass-fed gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of water in a small mixing bowl. Allow it to sit for about five minutes. This is an important step as it activates the gelatin, ensuring your gummies will have the right texture—the chewy goodness we all love.

Next, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and raw honey into the bloomed gelatin. Whisk gently until all the ingredients meld together. The honey adds a natural sweetness that balances out the tanginess of the vinegar, and the lemon juice provides a refreshing zing.

In a saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with the remaining 1/2 cup of water (or apple juice, if you prefer sweeter gummies). Stir over low heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remember, you don’t want to destroy the properties of the ACV!

Once the vinegar mixture is warm, remove it from heat and pour it into the gelatin mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This step is key; you want to ensure there are no clumps left.

Carefully pour the gummy mixture into your molds. Depending on the size of your molds, you should yield about ten gummies. Place them in the refrigerator and allow them to set for 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re firm to the touch.
