These homemade jalapeno pineapple gummies are sweet, sour and spicy! An addictive, wholesome snack you can make and keep on hand.
How to Make Homemade Jalapeno Pineapple Gummies
- Blend & Pour: Blend jalapeños, pineapple juice, and honey until smooth, then pour the mixture into a bowl.
- Whisk & Dissolve: Whisk in gelatin and dissolve the mixture over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes.
- Set: Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Can I Use Non-Silicone Molds?
If you don’t have any silicone molds, you can pour the mixture into a shallow pan and cut it into squares once it has set.
Can I Use Flavored Gelatin?
Yes, you can. Using flavored gelatin will change the overall flavor profile and taste of the gummies. To keep the spicy pineapple flavor, it’s best to use unflavored gelatin or pineapple flavored gelatin.
How to Know if the Gummies are Ready
You’ll know the gummies are ready when they are firm to the touch and no longer sticky. Refrigerate them for at least one hour to ensure they are properly set.
Can I Make These Gummies Without Pineapple Juice?
Yes, you can substitute the pineapple juice with any other fruit juice of your choice, though the flavor profile will change.
Why are My Gummies Sticking?
Silicone molds should make it easier for you to remove the gummies. However, if you’re still having trouble, try to gently press on the back of the mold to release the gummies one corner at a time. If they are still stuck, try placing the mold in the freezer for a few minutes to help them firm up.
How Long Do These Gummies Keep?
When stored properly in an airtight container, they will keep for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator. Make sure the gummies are fully set before refrigerating them. If the gummies become watery or sticky, you may need to transfer them to a cooler spot in your refrigerator to keep them from melting.
