- 3 tablespoons liquid fruit pectin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Extra sugar for coating (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Purée
- Blend fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, collecting the purée in a bowl.
Step 2: Cook the Gummy Mixture

- Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
Step 4: Cut & Coat (Optional)
- Once set, remove from the dish and cut into small squares or shapes using a knife or cookie cutter.
- If desired, roll in extra sugar for a sweet, crystalized finish.
