Healthy Homemade Fruit Snacks

Healthy homemade fruit snacks packed with nutrients from gelatin, fruit, kombucha (optional) and juice.

Ingredients:

1 cup water (divided)
½ cup (8 tablespoons) gelatin powder
¼ cup honey or maple syrup (optional and to taste)
1 cup kombucha or fruit juice (Here’s how to make Kombucha)
1 cup pureed fruit (strawberries and other berries are our favorite – applesauce will also work) The easiest method I’ve found is to defrost frozen berries and puree them with a blender or immersion blender

Directions:

Note: It is important to have all ingredients ready before beginning as you’ll need to work quickly once you start.
Puree fruit to create a puree the consistency of applesauce or a little thinner. For us, defrosted frozen berries pureed in a blender or food processor work perfectly. Set aside one cup of pureed fruit.
Set aside one cup of kombucha or fruit juice. We prefer homemade kombucha flavored with strawberries for this recipe. (Here is how to make kombucha)
Boil ½ cup water.
Place ½ cup cool water in a medium sized bowl or quart size mason jar.
Add ½ cup gelatin powder and stir quickly to create a paste.
Quickly add the ½ cup boiling water and stir again briskly.
This should form a thick but stir-able liquid.
Add the honey or maple syrup and stir.

Add the kombucha/juice and pureed fruit and stir well. You can stir with a spoon or whisk, or use an immersion blender to make it really easy.
Very quickly pour the mixture in to molds or a greased glass baking dish or other greased dish and allow to cool in fridge for 2-3 hours.
Store in fridge in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.
