Recipe's preparation

    Prep

  1. Make sure everything is ready before you start, as you have to work fairly quickly. Grease a dish or have your moulds ready as well as all your ingredients.  I use silicon chocolate moulds as the jellies dont stick and you get super cute shapes. Then I pour the rest into an oiled glass container to set and cut into cubes.

  2. Describe the preparation steps of your recipe

    3. Probiotic Jellies

  3. Yes these really are probiotic if you use kombucha to make them. For more info on making your own see the comments, where I will put some links.  

  4. In the mixing bowl puree the fruit for 10 secs./increasing to speed 10. Scrape down and repeat if necessary.  

  5. Sprinkle the gelatine over the fruit puree then pour over the water.  Heat for 2 mins./90°C/speed 2.  If the gelatine is not yet molten scrape down and repeat the cooking.  

  6. Let the mix cool to 60'C if using kombucha or procede right away if using juice: With the lid in place and the blades going at speed 2, pour the kombucha in through the hole.  

  7. If you like you can strain the mix into a jug, if you used berries this is good step as it removes the seeds and makes it easier to pour into small moulds.  Otherwise pour straight into your mould or greased dish.  

  8. Cover and pop in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.  

  9. Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or you can freeze them.  

  10. Pack for school in an cool bag lunch box with an ice brick. But they will stay solid even at room temperature, and just get a little sticky if it is hot.

Tip

You children get the benefits of probiotic kombucha and healing gelatine in a treat that looks and tastes like a jelly bear! Kombucha can be very easily made at home or even purchased in bottles or on tap at most health food stores. However, you can easily make these with fruit juice and although not probiotic, they are still a nutritious sweet treat.  If you don't want to use honey, then use apple juice in place of the water for sweetness. Or simply omit.  Use seasonal fruit like peaches, berries or mango in summer and apple or pear in winter. You can use defrosted berries any time of the year! Get the little ones involved in choosing the fruit and helping measure ingredients, even pouring into the moulds, as this gets them more excited about eating them later.  Great for sugar free kids parties.

    I found this a bit too gelatinous, so I am sure I did something wrong! Do you weigh it in? Roughly how much would you say you use, 1 teaspooon or 1 tablespoon? When do you add the honey? Thanks tmrc_emoticons.)

    AMAZING recipe. Made these with raspberries and elberry syrup to boost my little ones immunity. They love them. Much better than the store bought gummies.

  • Good question, kombucha

    Submitted by Stone Soup on 9. April 2014 - 12:47.

    Good question, kombucha is pasteurised if heated to over 60'C for more than 10 minutes. I find that even though you heat the gelatine mix to 90 when you add the kombucha it drops the temp really quickly so some of it might be slightly pasteurised but on a whole it is still very much alive. If you are concerned and want to get the most out of the probiotics then wait till the mix cools to 60'C (as indicated on the Thermomix itself) then add the kombucha. Thanks.

    Wouldn't the heat of disolving the gelatine actually degrade the probiotic bacteria in the Kombucha?
