homemade fruit gummies

I like anything homemade.  And these are surprisingly good.  This is what you will need:

Materials:
Gelatine- You will need five envelopes.  So you may have to buy two boxes.
Candy Molds- It's better to use small molds.  Soap molds are are too big.
1/2 can of Frozen Juice concentrate- We tried to make our own juice and it didn't work out so well.  On our second batch we bought the frozen juice and it worked out perfectly.
1 tsp Agave Syrup- Don't be fooled by thinking the mixture is already sweet.  We did not add any sweetener to our first batch and it was not sweet at all.  I think this is due to all the gelatine in the recipe.  We added about 1 tsp. to the second recipe.  But then again, in the second recipe we used frozen juice concentrate so maybe the sweetener does not need to be used.

Heat the juice concentrate on low heat and stir in the gelatine.  When the gelatine has dissolved put spoon the gelatin into the candy molds.  Then cool in fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
This is what the finished product looks like.  My daughter loves them and brought them to school today for snack.  I suspect her friends will be jealous!
