Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup beets (steamed and peeled)
  • 1 ¾ cups fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 Tbs. honey
  • 2 Tbs. plain gelatin

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine beets and blueberries. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Place a fine mesh strainer over a glass bowl or liquid measuring cup. Pour beet-blueberry puree into strainer. Using a spoon, work the mixture through until all the puree has been strained.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine strained puree, water and honey. Over medium-low heat, bring mixture to a slow simmer.
  4. Add in gelatin and use a silicone whisk to incorporate gelatin. Keep stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Continue to stir mixture frequently and simmer about 5 more minutes or until mixture is shiny and smooth.
  6. Place fruit snack molds onto a sheet pan. Using a dropper, fill each mold with fruit snack mixture. Each cavity in the mold holds about ¼ tsp. of liquid.
  7. Cover fruit snack molds and refrigerate for 2 hours or until fruit snacks are set.
  8. Remove fruit snacks from molds and place in an airtight container. Fruit snacks can be kept refrigerated for up to 7 days.
