Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berry puree
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice

- 1 tablespoon powdered pectin
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup mixed berry puree, 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until the mixture is warm and smooth, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Step 3: Pour the mixture into a greased silicone muffin pan, filling each cavity 3/4 full. Let cool at room temperature for 2 hours until the surface is no longer sticky.
- Step 4: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm, then pop out the gummies and store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Can I substitute ingredients in Minnesota Berry Bliss Gummies?
