Basic Gelatin Gummies (Recipe from I Quit Sugar: Simplicious)

Ingredients:
3½ tablespoons gelatin
1½ cups chopped fruit or 1-1½ cups liquid
½ tablespoon rice malt syrup or 2 drops liquid stevia (optional)

Directions:
1. 'Bloom' the gelatin by stirring it into ⅓ cup of cold water until dissolved. Let it sit for 5 minutes; It will expand and become 'rubbery'.
2. Heat the fruit or liquid and sweetner (and any spices or essences) in a small saucepan until it's almost boiling and the fruit has softened.
3. Turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin (break the large blob into the blobby bits) and stir until dissolved, then use a stick blender to purée.
4. Pour into moulds or a 10 x 15 cm square glass dish (or similarly sized plastic ones - I use a lunchbox).
5. Cool a little then place in the fridge to set for 1 hour. Cut into squares.
6. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
