Organic elderberry gummies are convenient to take daily and have the extra health benefits of gelatin. They are easy to make and fun. A great homemade product for your health!

I looked all over the internet for recipes to make organic elderberry gummies and tried several. They all had the consistency of jello jigglers which I find unappealing and wanted a little thicker chew more like gummy bears.

So, I scraped them all and came up with a better texture for the gummies.

Elderberry gummy benefits

Making organic elderberry gummies instead of using conventional ingredients helps you ensure that what you’re putting in your body in concentrate is as pure as you can.

I would hate to make them from conventional ingredients and be doing harm to my family’s bodies with chemicals or pesticides that would undo the good things we get from elderberries.

So, I decided to try to make some elderberry products that were made of all organic and free-range ingredients. Finding a good gelatin was hard. So, I did a bunch of research and liked what I read about this one. This gelatin is 100% pure beef gelatin from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows. It is additive-free, fat-free, carb-free, and sugar-free. It’s also paleo and keto-friendly.

How to make elderberry gummies

Once you have your elderberry syrup made, you can get some silicon molds and the gelatin powder and make gummies with it. Here are some tips I learned to help make them easier and help them turn out better. Remember, don’t heat your elderberry syrup up too much because it will destroy the beneficial properties of the raw honey in it.

When you are ready to make the elderberry gummies, let the elderberry syrup come up to room temperature. If you use it cold from the refrigerator, it will seize up your mixture by cooling the gelatin too fast.

Remember that elderberry syrup is not very sweet and gelatin is flavorless and so is water, so these gummies are not sweet. You could add sweetness if you want to, but not having sugar in them is part of the point for me for the health benefits. I just tell myself they are medicine and they aren’t supposed to be delicious. If they were, that would create problems of eating too many.

And don’t forget you can even grow your own elderberries in your backyard. Then you’ll know exactly how they’re grown.
