Print Recipe

These homemade elderberry gummy bites are a quick and easy immune-boosting treat made with simple ingredients like dried elderberries, raw honey, and gelatin. Perfect for sick season, they’re a crowd-pleaser that kids love and adults appreciate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup dried elderberries
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vitamin C powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the dried elderberries and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
  2. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl and pour the berry mixture through it. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the berries and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the berries. Let the liquid cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. While the liquid is still warm (but not boiling), whisk in the gelatin powder until fully dissolved, about 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in the raw honey and fresh lemon juice. If using, add the optional vitamin C powder and ginger powder. Whisk until fully combined.
  5. Place your silicone mold on a flat baking sheet. Using a dropper or small pitcher, carefully fill each cavity, leaving a tiny bit of space at the top. Pop any bubbles with a toothpick.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the gummies set for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  7. Gently flex the silicone mold to release the gummies. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Do not add gelatin to boiling liquid; let the elderberry liquid cool first. Use a whisk to avoid clumps. Work quickly as the mixture starts to set. Store in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks. For vegan version, replace gelatin with 2 tablespoons agar agar powder.
