Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup dill pickle juice (strained)
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for mild sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a savory kick)
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Gummy worm molds or silicone molds
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Pour the strained dill pickle juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom and absorb the liquid.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Gently heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the gelatin fully. Avoid boiling. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Add Flavorings: Once dissolved, if desired, stir in the honey or agave syrup to add mild sweetness, the garlic powder for a savory hint, and a drop or two of green food coloring for visual appeal. Mix well to combine.
- Pour into Molds: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the mixture into gummy worm molds using a dropper or spoon to avoid spills and ensure even filling.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the gummies are fully set and firm to the touch.
- Unmold and Store: Carefully remove the set gummy worms from the molds. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For a spicier variation, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the gelatin mixture before setting.
- These savory gummies make a fun snack for pickle enthusiasts or an unexpected addition to charcuterie boards.
- Experiment with different pickle juice types, such as kosher dill or bread-and-butter, to vary the flavor profiles of the gummy worms.
