Homemade Fruit Snacks

By Sharon Cowell, Publisher Macaroni Kid Easton Pa November 8, 2024

My grandson loves fruit snacks, what kid doesn't? I wanted to  make a homemade healthier version for him. We started with fresh local strawberries from one of our favorite farms and made a day of it.  We had a fun time picking the strawberries,  and once home washed and  started preparing them. 

Only a few ingredients needed. We used strawberries, but any juice or fruit can be used , Lemon Juice, local raw honey and gelatin. 

  • 1 Cup Strawberries
    • Put in Blender to make a juice like texture (add water if needed)
  • 3 TBSP  Gelatin
    • With a pan on stove top, Add 1 Tbsp at a time and slowly stir as you add the rest so it dissolves
  •  1 TBSP lemon juice 
  • 1 1/2 TBSP honey
  • Cook about 6 Minutes until all combined and dissolved. 

The molds I purchased online came with a dropper tool to add to molds. They turned out cute. Keep in fridge in ball jar or storage bag.   Enjoy!!
