Ingredients
- 1 cup tart cherry juice (unsweetened, preferably organic)
- 2 tbsp grass-fed gelatin
- 1– 2 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Optional Add Ins
- 1 tbsp collagen peptides
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pour the tart cherry juice into a small saucepan. Add honey or maple syrup if desired, and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the juice and let it sit for 3–5 minutes to bloom. It will thicken and appear grainy.

- Remove from heat and carefully pour the liquid into silicone molds or a lined baking dish.
- Place the molds in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours or until the gummies are firm.
- Remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
