Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies With Tart Cherry Juice

This simple recipe for apple cider vinegar gummies are made with detoxifying ACV, raw honey, tart cherry juice and grass-fed gelatin.

When I was younger and really into dieting, I read how good it was to drink a tablespoon of ACV in water each day. Several times a day. But dang, I just could not get it down! Its hard on your teeth to drink apple cider vinegar straight anyway. So I gave it up.

Fast forward to when I had kids who always want gummies every time they see them in the store. Rather than buy them the dye filled, corn syrup sweetened ones they were asking for, I started making gummies at home. Its not hard and really inexpensive!

That got me looking up all kinds of healthy gummy recipes on Pinterest and started me wanting to experiment with making apple cider vinegar gummies myself. (since store bought ones are just too darn expensive!)

After a little bit of playing around with ingredients that are beneficial to myself and my family, and yummy enough that my kids would beg for more, I came up with these tart cherry apple cider vinegar gummies. I’m so excited to share the recipe with you so you can make some for your family!

Have you tried my recipe for homemade honey lollipops yet?

Like I said, I started looking into taking ACV purely for weight loss purposes, but after some research, I’ve realized there are so many more benefits to taking apple cider vinegar daily!

I made these gummies with tart cherry juice to act as an extra immune booster for my kids during the cold and flu months.

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is known to improve digestion, help control blood sugar, lower the risk of heart disease and even help with weight loss.

What Are Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies Good For?

ACV gummies promote gut health and are known to improve digestion. Apple cider vinegar helps to support healthy immune function as well. A great reason to give them to your kids!

Do Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies Work As Well As The Liquid?

These apple cider gummies contain all the same benefits that drinking straight ACV does, plus the added nutrition from the healthy gelatin and cherry juice.

There are more calories in gummies than straight ACV from the juice and honey.

Are These Gummies Keto and Paleo?

These ACV gummies are Paleo friendly. They should not be taken while on a Keto diet because of their high sugar content.

What Are The Benefits of Grass-Fed Gelatin?

Grass-fed beef gelatin is a source of collagen and protein. Collagen is great for your skin, hair, nails and joints.

Benefits of Tart Cherry Juice

100% tart cherry juice has been shown to reduce inflammation and swelling in the joints. It also contains powerful antioxidants that can fight infection and boost your immune system!

What You Need To Make This Recipe For Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies:

ingredients

• Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar – the kind that contains “the mother” is best. That’s the yucky looking floaty stuff in the bottom of your bottle of ACV.
• Raw Honey – raw honey is proven to be both anti-fungal and antiviral, making it a great immune booster. So, not just a good way to sweeten these gummies, but honey also adds to their health benefits!
• Grass-Fed Gelatin Powder – you could just use Knox gelatin from your regular grocery store, but it will not be as healthy as using grass-fed gelatin. I use this same gelatin to make this berry jello recipe.
• 100% Tart Cherry Juice – 100% tart cherry juice is pricey, but very good for you. If you want to make these more budget friendly, you can use regular cherry or apple juice found in the juice aisle at your grocery store.

Supplies

• Gummy Bear Molds – any gummy molds will work. I like these ones because the bears are flatter and not so tiny, making them easier to fill and pop out once the gummies are ready. They also come with eye droppers for filling.

All of these ingredients can be found at your local health food store as well. They seem pricey, but you only need a little of each one for these gummies, so they’ll last a long time!

How Do You Make Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies?

Prepare – Mix the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cherry juice in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to “bloom”

Mix – In a saucepan over low heat, heat remaining 1 cup of tart cherry juice and apple cider vinegar until it is just starting to simmer. (not boiling)

Remove saucepan from heat and add in the honey, and bloomed gelatin mixture. Stir until well combined.

Pour – Carefully pour the hot mixture into the gummy molds, using a spoon or eye dropper.

Let Sit – Refrigerate the gummies for an hour until they are firm.

Tips

Store – store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Variations – if you don’t have gummy molds, you can pour the gummy mixture into a 9 x13 and cut it into squares.

These gummies can be made with apple juice instead but you won’t get all of the health benefits you would with tart cherry juice.
