RIPPER RASPBERRY AND MANGO GUMMIES
If you’ve been around this joint for a while, you may recognise this little number. I felt it was time for my favourite ‘twofer’ flavoured Ripper Raspberry and Mango gummies to have a bit of a resurgence…
A little retro-AIP loving!
Gummies are one of those little easy AIP recipes that are a revelation. Especially early in your elimination phase when you are looking for a healthy sweet treat that ticks all the boxes and doesn’t go overboard on the sugar.
Full of gut-healing gelatine and SUPER easy to whip up, for a while there I became a bit of a gummies-making queen!
First published in late 2016, this flavour combination remains one of my favourites gummies
Let’s take a step back in time…
It’s hotting up here in Sydney. Summer is well and truly on its way.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!
― Dorothea Mackellar
Summer in Sydney means mangoes to me. I don’t think I had really and truly experienced the amazing taste of a ripe mango, juice dripping down my fingers until I moved here…
I love them!
I’ve had my Mum visiting from New Zealand these past few days. It’s been lovely.
Summer for me also means fresh raspberries. And, raspberries make me think of my German Omi. Mum’s Mum, who was famous for her raspberry sauce served over vanilla ice cream…
So, when Mum asked me what she should be doing with the Vital Proteins gelatin I gave her earlier in the year, I thought it was an opportune time to show her just how easy it is to whip up a batch of gut-healing RIPPER raspberry and mango gummies…
So very easy!
I’m quite sure you already know all about the gut-healing benefits of consuming gelatin (from happy, pasture-raised beef or pork, of course). And, if you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you’ll also know just what a fan I am of the gummy. PERFECTLY Pumpkin-Spice Gummies and IMMUNE BOOSTING Lemon, Ginger and Honey Gummies are two of my most popular recipes.
I really love making gummies – they take no time at all, they’re great for adding nutrient density and they’re a healthy treat. All in one perfectly formed little package, too!
In this recipe, you’ll whip up two different flavours of gummies, allowing the first to set a while before layering on the second…
Think of it as a ‘TWOFER’ (a two for one) deal!
I reckon’ it’s totally worth the little bit of extra effort. Let me know what you think?
- 250g (approx. 9 ounces) fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup powdered gelatin
- 1 fresh mango (or 3-4 frozen mango cheeks)
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup powdered gelatin
- Pop fresh or defrosted raspberries, water and lime juice into your blender. Blend on high until pureed.
- Pour puree mixture into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the honey and gelatin and whisk until lump-free. Heat gently over low heat, whisking constantly until the gelatine is smooth. Remove from heat and pour into silicone moulds, taking care to only pour to the halfway point or a baking dish.
- Pop into the fridge to almost set for an hour.
- Peel your ripe mango and slice off all the fruit from the pit. No need to be neat about it! Pop fresh or defrosted mango flesh, water and lime juice into your blender. Blend on high until pureed.
- Pour puree mix into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the honey and gelatin and whisk until lump-free. Heat gently over low heat, whisking constantly until the gelatin is smooth. Remove from heat and pour to the top of your silicon moulds over the almost-set raspberry gummies, or into your half-filled baking dish.
- Pop into the fridge to almost set for 90 - 120 minutes.
- Remove from silicone moulds or cut into bite-sized pieces.
