Homemade Fruit Jelly Cups

Gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free

Makes 3-4 small cups

Ingredients:

• 2 cups juice (apple, orange, berry — whatever your kids like)

• 3 teaspoons gelatin

• 1–2 teaspoons honey (optional)

• Fresh chopped fruit (berries, grapes, mango, kiwi, etc.)

Instructions:

• Pour your juice into a medium saucepan.

• Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface.

• Let it sit for about 1 minute so it can bloom (this helps it dissolve smoothly).

• Heat the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring until the gelatin has completely dissolved.

• Remove from the heat and add honey if you’d like it a little sweeter.

• Pour the mixture into:

  • 3–4 small jars or cups, or

  • One larger container to slice later.

• Add in your chopped fruit and give it a gentle stir.

• Place in the fridge for a few hours, or until completely set.

  Notes:

• These jelly cups will keep for about a week in the fridge.

• They’re best stored in airtight containers or individual jars.
