These peach ring gummies are a homemade copycat of a candy classic! They’re made with real fruit and don’t contain corn syrup, food dyes, or artificial flavor.

What are peach ring gummies? What’s in them?

Peach ring gummies are a classic candy! They’re two-toned in color, have a ring shape, and have a vaguely peachy flavor. However, there’s really no real peach in them. They’re made with mostly corn syrup and artificial colors and food dyes.

This version is made with peaches as the main ingredient! The color is natural, and they still taste super yummy!

Why you’ll love this recipe

They taste like childhood. Peach ring gummies are such a classic and so delicious! There is so much nostalgia in this treat.
They are easy to make. Nothing too fancy to make these! They’re pretty straight forward in terms of making candy.

The Ingredients for peach ring gummies

Peaches. I use frozen peaches that I simply leave in the fridge overnight. Frozen fruit is still a great option when it comes to fruit as it’s frozen at the peak of freshness. Plus, buying it frozen comes with the added benefit of already having the skin removed. You can use fresh peaches if you want, but you’ll need to remove the skin which is a bit of a hassle.
Orange juice. This is added for some extra liquid and a tiny bit more flavor depth. Apple juice will also work.
Honey. You can also use maple syrup.
Gelatin.This is not the same as collagen.
Granulated sweetener.I usethis one. The sweetener just adds the mouthfeel you get from gummies.

THE TOOLS

Food Processor.
Fine Mesh Strainer.
Gummy molds. I use this! I know it looks like a donut pan, but it’s super small.

Step One. Blend the peaches and orange juice and strain.
Step Two.Pour the juice into a pot and add the honey.
Step Three. Sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture and lightly mix. Allow to harden for 2 minutes.
Step Four. Heat over low heat until fully liquid.

Step Five. Transfer the mixture to mold.
Step Six. Refrigerate until set.

Step Seven. Remove and toss the gummies in sweetener.

Tips & Tricks

The sweetener is optional. They taste just as good without it! The sweetener is just added to mimic the mouthfeel you get from gummies. See below for more info on the sweetener!
Use whatever mold you have.You technically don’t even need a mold. You can also use a glass storage container and just slice squares.

A NOTE ON THE SWEETENER

The monk fruit sweetener is the closest look and feel to regular sugar, but it melts if you keep it in the fridge! If you do add the sweetener, just keep in mind that it won’t keep the same texture in the fridge for longer storage.

How to store gummies

Store in the fridge for 3-4 days in an air-tight container!

Ingredients

UnitsScale

1 lb peaches, peeled and sliced (I use defrosted frozen peaches)
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tbsp + 1 tsp gelatin
2 tbsp honey

Optional

Granulated sweetener (like this)

Instructions

Add the peeled peaches to a blender or food processor along with the orange juice. Blend until fully liquid. Using a fine mesh strainer set over a medium pot, strain out the juice using a silicone spatula to push down the pulp. You should have about 1 1/4 cups of juice after straining.
Pour the juice into a pot and add the honey. Stir well.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the peach mixture and lightly mix. Allow to harden for 2 minutes.
Transfer the pot to the stove and heat over low heat for 3-4 minutes or until fully liquid.
Use a dropper to carefully transfer the liquid into the mold. Alternatively, you can use a large glass container.
Transfer to the fridge for 4-6 hours or until fully set.
Carefully remove from the mold. Add the sweetener to a bowl and carefully toss the gummies (see notes). Store in the fridge!

Love these! I prefer more of a commercial/former gummy texture though, have you tried this recipe with double gelatin? If I did so would I be able to store out of the fridge? Thanks so much!!

How many molds did you use to use up the recipe?
- Unbound Wellness — April 5, 2024 @ 7:26 pm Reply
  
  I use one whole mold, and then I usually have extra that I add to another mold or just a glass dish.
