- 2 cups peach juice (fresh or store-bought) - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 cup water - 2 tablespoons lemon juice - 1 tablespoon agar-agar powder (or gelatin) - 1/4 teaspoon citric acid (optional) - Cooking spray or cornstarch for dusting To make homemade peach ring gummies, you need fresh and simple ingredients. Start with peach juice. You can use fresh juice or store-bought. I love using fresh juice for a brighter flavor. You will also need granulated sugar. This gives sweetness to the gummies. Water is important to help dissolve the sugar. You’ll need lemon juice too. It adds a nice zing to balance the sweetness. Agar-agar powder is a key ingredient for a firm texture. If you want a non-vegetarian option, use gelatin instead. Citric acid is optional but adds a fun tartness. Lastly, you will want cooking spray or cornstarch. This helps to dust the molds so the gummies come out easily. Gather these items before starting. Having everything ready will make the process smooth. Check out the Full Recipe for all the steps to create these tasty treats! To start, gather your peach juice, sugar, and water. In a medium saucepan, combine these ingredients. Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely. It is crucial to avoid boiling. Boiling can change the texture of your gummies. Next, you need to add the thickener. If you are using agar-agar, sprinkle it over the peach juice mixture. Whisk it in for about 2-3 minutes until it is fully dissolved. If you choose gelatin, remove the saucepan from heat first. Then, add the gelatin and whisk until it mixes in well. Now, add lemon juice and citric acid if you want extra flavor. Stir these in during the last minute of cooking. Again, do not let the mixture boil. Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes before pouring. Carefully pour the peach mixture into your gummy molds. Make sure to tap the molds gently on the counter. This releases any trapped air bubbles. Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Wait until the gummies fully set before removing them. For the full recipe, you can refer to the detailed instructions above. Enjoy making your peach ring gummies! To get the best gummy texture, use the right sugar level. You can adjust the sugar based on your taste. If you like your gummies sweeter, add a little more sugar. If you prefer them less sweet, reduce the sugar. This flexibility helps you make gummies just how you like them. Using citric acid can boost the flavor. It adds a nice tartness that complements the sweet peach. Just a little goes a long way. Mix it in along with the lemon juice during the cooking process. This step enhances the overall taste of your gummies. Sometimes gummies can turn out too hard or too soft. If your gummies are too hard, add a bit more water next time. This helps soften them. If they turn out too soft, you may need to use a bit more agar-agar or gelatin. Finding the right balance is key. Getting gummies out of molds can be tricky. To help, spray the molds lightly with cooking spray. This helps the gummies pop out easily. If you don’t have spray, dust the molds with cornstarch. It prevents sticking and makes removal smooth. To serve your gummies in style, arrange them on a nice plate. You can sprinkle some edible glitter on top for a fun touch. For gifts, use small glass jars. Tie them with a ribbon for a cute look. This makes your homemade peach ring gummies special and delightful. For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions above. Enjoy making these tasty treats! {{image_2}} You can get creative with your peach ring gummies by adding other fruit juices. Mango and strawberry juices mix well with peach juice. They give a fun twist to the taste. You can also blend different juices for a layered effect. Try mixing peach juice with a bit of pineapple for a tropical flavor. Adding herbs or spices can make your gummies unique. For example, a hint of mint or basil can add a fresh taste. You could also try a dash of cinnamon for warmth. The possibilities are endless! If you prefer a vegan option, you can use agar-agar instead of gelatin. Agar-agar is a plant-based thickener. It works well to create the same chewy texture. Just follow the same steps in the recipe, and you’ll have vegan peach gummies. For a healthier version, consider using sugar-free sweeteners. There are many options like stevia or erythritol. These can help cut down on calories while keeping the flavor. Make sure to adjust the amount to suit your taste. You can still enjoy delicious homemade peach ring gummies without the extra sugar! For the full recipe, check out the details above. To keep your homemade peach ring gummies fresh, storage matters. You can store them in the fridge or freeze them. - Refrigeration: Place your gummies in an airtight container. They last longer when kept cool. - Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the gummies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. This keeps them from sticking together. Make sure to label your containers with the date. This way, you know when you made them! Homemade peach gummies can last about one week in the fridge. When kept in the freezer, they can last up to three months. To check for spoilage, look for these signs: - Texture Change: If they become hard or sticky, it’s time to toss them. - Color Fading: If the color looks dull or off, it’s best to discard them. - Off Smell: If they smell strange, do not eat them. Always trust your senses when it comes to food safety! For step-by-step guidance, refer to the Full Recipe. Yes, you can use fresh peaches! First, wash and peel the peaches. Then, chop them into small pieces. Blend the pieces in a blender until smooth. After that, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. This will remove the pulp and give you smooth peach juice. You need about 2 cups of juice for the recipe. If you don’t have gummy molds, don’t worry! You can use a flat dish instead. Just pour your mixture into the dish and let it set. Once set, cut the gummies into small squares or shapes with a knife. You can also use ice cube trays or silicone molds for fun shapes. To change the sweetness, you can add more or less sugar. If you want sweeter gummies, add a bit more sugar to the peach juice mixture. For less sweetness, reduce the sugar. You can taste the mixture before it cools to find the right balance for you. Yes, you can use gelatin instead of agar-agar. Both will make gummies, but they act differently. Gelatin gives a chewy texture, while agar-agar makes a firmer gummy. If using gelatin, remove the mixture from heat before adding it. Stir until it is fully mixed in. Homemade peach ring gummies are fun and tasty treats you can make easily. We covered the ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and helpful tips to ensure success. Remember, using peach juice and the right gelling agent is key to great texture and flavor. Don’t hesitate to try new fruit combinations or dietary changes. These gummies can impress anyone and be stored well. Enjoy making your own unique peachy delights and share them with friends!
