Tangy, sweet, and chewy, a touch of lime transports these healthy treats into the ultimate snack realm. Elderberry and blueberries give added boosts of antioxidants and immune support. But once these gems are ready to pick up, everyone will be too busy biting into the flavours to notice the hidden benefits.
Blueberry Lime Fruit Gummies
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup pure apple juice
- 1/3 cup blueberry applesauce (I used pureed blueberry lime applesauce)
- 4 Tablespoons unflavoured gelatin powder (about 4 packets)
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup (or cane sugar if not paleo)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons elderberry syrup, optional (for colour and immune support)
- pinch of ground ginger
- oil for greasing the pan/s
Directions:
- Blend gelatin and juice and applesauce together in a small, cool saucepan. Turn heat to medium and warm mixture to dissolve gelatin. Add maple syrup and elderberry syrup if using. Continue to heat and stir gently until mixture is smooth and liquid is transparent.
- Turn off heat and stir in lime juice. Pour warm liquid into a lightly greased glass dish, such as a loaf pan. Carefully place the pan on a level shelf in the freezer for 15 minutes to set. Lift the solidified gummy layer out and cut with a sharp knife into cubes or desired shapes. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve or pack in a lunch box.

Can I add in honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, absolutely! I have used honey successfully in other gummy recipes, like cranberry gummy candies. It will taste just a little different, but still very good.
These sound great! I’ve never made my own fruit gummies before – love the idea and this flavor combination! Thanks for sharing Julia 🙂
Thanks! You can adjust the sweetness to your liking too. There’s a few ideas about that in my other gummy candy recipe.
My Mom has been bugging me to make gummies for her! I didn’t know it was so easy! They look delicious and I love that they’re secretly healthy!
If you can make Jello, you can make these. And they set really fast. Enjoy! 🙂
Delicious and healthy! Sounds like a win to me. 😉 Thanks so much for sharing these at Savoring Saturdays!
These look great! I just got some vegan “geletain” mix I have to try this! Thanks for linking up at our Gluten Free Fridays party! I have tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you share this week! Its LIVE!
