PRESSED JUICERY GELATIN GUMMIES

What a fun, simple idea! The bright, fresh flavors in cold pressed juice make these jellies a modern twist on the jammier pate de fruit. The texture with these gummies is dense but yielding, thanks to the grass-fed gelatin. For a more intense gummy bear texture, add an extra tablespoon of gelatin. For a looser texture, use a tablespoon less. Juices with a little natural sweetness (think apple juice or orange juice) tend to work best, but feel free to try some of the root or green juices with a touch of raw honey mixed in. Enjoy!

Pineapple contains an enzyme that naturally battles the stiffening effects of gelatin, so you may need to use 4 1/2 tablespoons of gelatin per 16 oz of pineapple based juice.
