Why use Welch's Grape Juice?
Welch's Grape Juice tastes amazing and uses Concord Grapes.
The dark, thick purple skin and crunch seeds of the Concord grapes contain powerful plant nutrients called polyphenols.
Polyphenols play a role in a healthy heart by promoting healthy circulation and blood pumping.
Welch's Juice is also Non-GMO, gluten free, and does not have artificial flavors, or added sugar. It is loaded with Vitamin C.

Steps to make
Follow these easy steps to make homemade gummy bears.
- Combine Welch's 100% Grape Juice, honey, and Gelatine in a sauce pan.
- Heat mixture until it is completely dissolved and forms a runny texture.
- Using a dropper, add Gelatine mixture to your gummy mold.
- Then refrigerate gummies for about 2 hours to set.
How easy is that? This is such a great, delicious, heart-healthy snack perfect for eating at home or on the go.
Note: I use Lizber Gummy Bear Molds 3 Pack , Silicone Candy Molds 50 Cavities with Bonus Dropper (Blue , Green , Red)
for my mold.
You can use other shaped candy molds also, but I suggest using Silicone. It makes removing the gummies easy.

*Tip: This recipe is made to be healthy. While it taste good, it is not loaded with extra sugar, so it is not as sweet as the store bought fruit snacks. If you want the gummy bears to taste sweeter, add more honey.

I put them in the refrigerator. Because there are no preservatives, they only last a few days. It isn't that they go bad, they just begin to dry up.
Ellery
Hi! Love the recipe but how do you recommend storing these?
Katie Crenshaw
A quarter of the batch. There are about 4 servings.

Hi!
I’m thinking of trying this amazing recipe. My question is what serving size is the nutritional data referring to? 1 full batch? Thanks very much, looks delicious!

Hi Katie. Tried your gummy bear recipe and it worked out wonderfully. I made 3 different batches, I made a batch with diet juice with honey, one with white cranberry juice and added sugar and apple flavoring And one with a herbal tea and truvia. The recipe was easy and longest part was filling the bear mold. They taste very good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I would think you could replace it with any juice. I haven't tried, but it should come together the same except with a different flavor.

Can you replace the grape juice with other juices? if so, please can you tell me which ones.
