Fruit snacks



Here is a go at trying to make fruit snacks 

2 c berries of choice ( I used raspberries )
1/2 c lemon juice
1/2 c gelatin (thanx Leah ) 
2 tbs honey
1 tbs sucanat

In a sauce pan on medium heat combine berries and lemon juice till berries are softened . Cool slightly he add to blender to purée . ( I didn't this time but next I would strain the berries ) return to bowl and whisk on honey and sucanat till combined - the slowly whisk in gelatin and keep whisking till completely combined making sure no clumps formulate! 
Pour into silicone molds ( if u have them) if you are like me and don't have any yet I lined a 13 x 9 baking sheet with parchment paper.  Refrigerate for 2 hrs or till hardened ... Cut into squares 

PS: these were more like little fruit jellies 
I'm still going to keep trying - Tree Top isn't going to beat me !

  2. Great idea Jenny! My kids long ago stopped asking me to buy fruit snacks because they already know my answer. I'll have to make these some time and surprise them. :D
