Elderberry Gummies

These homemade elderberry gummies are made with just three ingredients — elderberry syrup, grass-fed beef gelatin, and a natural sweetener — and come together in under 10 minutes of active time. The gelatin blooms in the syrup, gets gently warmed until dissolved, sweetened to taste, then poured into silicone molds and chilled until set. The result is a chewy, immune-supporting gummy with no refined sugar, no artificial ingredients, and the added benefit of gut-nourishing collagen amino acids from grass-fed gelatin. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
