Makes about 12

Ingredients:

• 250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) apple juice (no added sugar)
• 60 ml (2 fl oz/164 cup) apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons powdered gelatine

Method:

• In a small saucepan, warm the apple juice and vinegar over medium heat.
• When it starts to bubble, remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle the gelatine on top and whisk briskly until dissolved. Strain.
• Pour into teddy bear moulds, or other moulds of your choice, or into a small lined baking tin.
• Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until set.
• Turn out of the moulds, or cut into small squares to serve. The gummies will keep in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for 1–2 weeks.

SUPERCHARGED TIP:

For my vegetarian friends, you can now have you gummies and eat them too! To make Aloe Vera Gummies, replace the gelatine with aloe vera juice.

For Vegetarian Gummies, simply heat up 350 ml (12 fl oz) aloe vera juice in a saucepan, add 1/2 tsp agar-agar powder and stir to dissolve. Agar agar is a flavorless gelling agent, derived from cooked and pressed seaweed.

Continue stirring for a couple of minutes. When the mixture starts to boil, remove from the heat, add some liquid stevia, vanilla extract, chopped mint or whatever spice you like — even berries would be nice!

Pour into an ice-cube tray. Top with shredded coconut if you like, then refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until set.
