Low-Sugar Sour Gummies

Sour candy is one of my favorite indulgences. It was only natural that I eventually learn how to make them myself! I found a recipe online by Gemma and figured I would make it my own. I used NOW Monk Fruit instead of sugar, and agave instead of honey. Don’t worry, they’re still super sweet and more importantly, sour!

For this recipe, you can use fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. Whatever you have sitting around! I used frozen peaches and cherries that never made their way into the smoothies I told myself I was going to start eating this year. Candy seems like a much more fun way to use fruit anyways. lol.

Notes

* The more you add, the more sour your gummies will be. I like mine super sour and 3-4 tsp was perfect.

**Honestly, I dare you to have leftover gummies after making these. But if you do, you can store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
