Since weaning my daughter, i’ve been on the hunt for a multi-vitamin without artificial sugar, natural flavors, and corn syrup sweeteners found in many supplements. I’ve done my due diligence of trying out plenty of the brands that offer decent quality vitamins, but when it comes down to it, we are the ones we can really quality control by creating them ourselves.

Consistency. I’ve tried making gummies before and this recipe is by far the best in terms of gummy consistency. In the past when I’ve tried making them they turned out more jello-like. These past the haribo test. So far, i’ve only tried using my homemade elderberry syrup as the base (I had made WAY too much of it and this was the perfect way to utilize it with ADDED benefits!).

• Pour the mixture into molds or glass dish

• Stick in the fridge to let them firm up!

• Remove and pop out of molds and add to container. If you used a glass dish, you can cut them into squares if needed.
