It's officially mandarin season where I live, and I couldn't be more excited! I'm dedicating the next few recipes to this delicious fruit, kicking off the series with this unbelievably easy 2-ingredient vegan gummies!
Vegan, sugar free, gluten free | 20 pieces | DESSERT
Ingredients:
- 350g mandarins (250ml mandarin juice)
- 2 teaspoons agar agar
Steps:
1.Cut the mandarins in half and squeeze the juice or use a juicer.
2.Sieve the juice from a fine strainer into a large bowl, add the agar agar and sweetener if you are using any and whisk.
3.Add the juice into a saucepan, bring to boil and lower the heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.Remove from the heat, place into your (gummy bear) molds and let it firm at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
Notes:
*Depending on how sweet your fruits are and how sweet you like your gummies, you can sweetened them, by adding 1-3 tablespoons of sweetener of your choice (sugar, monk fruit, maple syrup or agave).
*Store them for up to 2 weeks, in an airtight container in a cool and dry place or in the fridge, but allow them to sit in room temperature for few minutes before you enjoy them.
*The amount you will get it really depends on how big/small your molds are.
