It is a while I am thinking of how to let eat someone something when a person just don’t want to eat. I am thinking about a friend’s mother who is in her 80s and could do better when eating some gelatin and coconut oil. As for the coconut oil my friend is trying to put it in the daily muesli but as this is cold the oil is going lumpy. Of course she then is ‘fishing’ around to avoid the lumps. And that is not the desired effect.
So she likes sweets and cakes like most of elder people I thought to create something that maybe she would snack during the day.
So I came with these gummies. They are super easy to make and super tasty. They are a perfect snack during the day and you are eating something super healthy.
I just put some fruit and as red currants are very sour I put honey as well. Then some coconut oil and the gelatin. Mixing, lightly warming in a sauce pan for combining all in a proper way, into molds and fridge. That’s it.
My first attempt was with a friend of mine who is not at all paleo or primal. And she finished nearly all! I would say: success. No I have just to take the favorite fruit of my friend’s mother and we will try. Crossing fingers!
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fruit puree
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 15 gr gelatin powder
- Put the lemon juice and the honey into a sauce pan and heat it. When the honey is completely dissolved add the gelantin and stir until completely combined.
- Now add this to the fruit puree and combine well.
- Fill the mixture into molds of your choice and let them cool in the fridge for around 4 hours
I used red currants as they looked so good int he supermarket. So I added honey. Other fruit doesn't need honey as sweetener, so omit.
I used very small molds (for chocolates normally) and bigger ones like on the photo. I didn't like the smaller, they are less comfortable to grab and I like to have two bites.
