Hey there, fellow gummy lovers! I'm a gummy supplier, and I've been in the business of making all sorts of delicious gummies for quite a while. Today, I'm super excited to share with you the step - by - step process of making sea salt gummy bears. These little treats are a unique blend of sweet and salty, which is a flavor combo that's just irresistible.

Ingredients You'll Need

First things first, let's talk about the ingredients. You're gonna need:

  • Gelatin: This is the key ingredient that gives gummies their chewy texture. You can find it at most grocery stores or online.
  • Sea salt: The star of the show! It adds that amazing savory note to the sweet gummies. I prefer using high - quality, coarse sea salt for the best flavor.
  • Fruit juice: I usually go for natural fruit juices like apple, grape, or strawberry. They give the gummies their color and a natural fruit flavor.
  • Sugar: Of course, you need some sugar to sweeten things up. You can adjust the amount based on how sweet you like your gummies.
  • Water: To dissolve the gelatin and make the mixture easy to work with.

Equipment

  • A saucepan: For heating up the ingredients.
  • A whisk: To mix everything together thoroughly.
  • Gummy bear molds: You can find these at craft stores or online. They come in all sorts of fun shapes and sizes.
  • A spatula: To scrape the gummy mixture into the molds.

Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin

Start by pouring about 1/4 cup of cold water into a small bowl. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of gelatin over the water. Let it sit for a few minutes until the gelatin softens. This process is called "blooming." While it's blooming, you can start getting the other ingredients ready.

Step 2: Make the Base Mixture

In a medium - sized saucepan, pour in about 1 cup of fruit juice. Add about 1/2 cup of sugar and a pinch of sea salt. I know it sounds like a small amount of salt, but trust me, a little goes a long way. Turn the heat to medium and stir constantly with a whisk until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.

Step 3: Combine the Gelatin

Once the sugar and salt are dissolved, take the bloomed gelatin and add it to the saucepan with the fruit juice mixture. Keep whisking over medium heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved. You'll notice that the mixture starts to thicken a bit. Make sure there are no lumps of gelatin left in the mixture.

Step 4: Strain the Mixture

After the gelatin is dissolved, take a fine - mesh strainer and pour the gummy mixture through it into another bowl. This will get rid of any impurities or small clumps that might have formed. Straining gives your gummies a smooth and professional look.

Step 5: Pour into Molds

Now comes the fun part! Take your gummy bear molds and place them on a flat surface. Use a spatula to carefully pour the gummy mixture into each mold cavity. Fill them up almost to the top, but don't overfill. You can tap the molds gently on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.

Step 6: Let Them Set

Put the filled molds in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 2 - 3 hours. The colder the environment, the faster they'll set. You can check on them after a couple of hours. Once they're firm to the touch, they're ready to be taken out of the molds.

Step 7: Remove from Molds

To remove the gummy bears from the molds, gently flex the molds. The gummies should pop right out. If they don't, you can run the bottom of the molds under warm water for a few seconds. This will help loosen the gummies.

Tips and Variations

  • If you want to make your sea salt gummy bears even more interesting, you can add some other flavors. For example, you could add a few drops of vanilla extract or a splash of coconut milk to the mixture.
  • You can also experiment with different types of sea salt. Some sea salts have a more intense flavor, while others are more mild. It's all about finding the right balance for your taste buds.
