Homemade Citrus Bone Broth Gummies

Here’s a bright, citrusy recipe to make the most of fresh, in-season oranges. Surprisingly simple to prepare, these homemade gummies also use a pantry staple you might not expect: bone broth.

Inspired by Gevity Rx’s Bone Broth Immunity Gummies, we’ve adapted the recipe using Gevity Natural Bone Broth Body Glue, available at Health-E-Living, with ground turmeric and ginger added separately.

The result is a batch of zingy homemade gummies made with orange, lemon, raw honey and simple pantry ingredients. With fresh citrus, warming ginger and turmeric, they’re also a fun, kid-friendly way to add a little extra nourishment during cold-and-flu season.

You’ll need

• 1½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon Gevity Natural Bone Broth Body Glue

• 2 teaspoons raw honey, or more to taste

• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

• ½ cup water

• 5 tablespoons gelatine 

To make

1. Pour the water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatine evenly over the surface and leave it to bloom for approximately five minutes.

2. Add the orange juice, lemon juice, Natural Body Glue, ginger and turmeric to a small saucepan.

3. Warm gently over low heat, whisking until combined. Don’t allow the mixture to boil.

4. Add the bloomed gelatine and continue whisking over low heat until it has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir through the raw honey, then taste and add a little more if you prefer a sweeter gummy.

6. Carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy moulds. If you don’t have moulds, use a small glass dish lined with baking paper.

7. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until completely firm.

8. Remove the gummies from their moulds—or slice the mixture into bite-sized squares—and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to seven days.

A few helpful notes

Ground turmeric and ginger are stronger than they look, so we recommend starting with the quantities above. If you enjoy a warmer, spicier flavour, you can increase them slightly in your next batch.

Prefer fresh ginger? Replace the ground ginger with approximately 1 teaspoon of finely grated fresh ginger.

No gummy moulds? A lined container works perfectly. Once the mixture has set, simply lift it out and cut it into small squares.

Easy, zingy and a little different—these gummies are a clever way to turn fresh oranges and a spoonful of bone broth into a homemade citrus treat.
