If you love peach ring candy, you’re going to be obsessed with these gummies. 🍑✨ They’re soft, chewy, sweet, and coated in the perfect sour finish — but made with just a handful of simple ingredients. Every bite is packed with juicy peach flavor and tastes surprisingly close to the classic candy we all know and love. The hardest part? Not eating the whole batch in one sitting. 😅
Ingredients
For the gummies
- 250 ml peach purée
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 20 g gelatin powder
- 10 g honey
Optional sour coating
- 1 tbsp granulated erythritol or sugar
- ½ tsp citric acid
Step 1: Prepare the peach mixture
Add the peach purée, lemon juice, and honey to a small saucepan.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula. The goal is to warm the mixture gently, not cook it. If the heat is too high, the fruit can lose some of its fresh flavor and the gelatin may not set as well later.
Continue stirring for about 2–3 minutes, or until the mixture feels warm to the touch and the honey has completely dissolved into the peaches. You should see a smooth, uniform mixture with no visible streaks of honey remaining.
Important: Do not let the mixture boil. Warm and smooth is exactly what you’re looking for.
Step 2: Dissolve the gelatin
Reduce the heat to the lowest setting possible.
While whisking constantly, slowly sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm peach mixture. Avoid dumping it in all at once, as this can create lumps that are difficult to dissolve.
Continue whisking for 1–2 minutes until every bit of gelatin has fully dissolved. The mixture should become slightly thicker and have a glossy appearance.
Run a spoon through the mixture. If you don’t see any small gelatin granules or clumps, it’s ready. If you notice any lumps, continue whisking until completely smooth.
At this stage, the mixture should look silky, shiny, and completely uniform.
Step 3: Fill the molds
Carefully pour the gummy mixture into silicone gummy molds.
A small measuring cup with a spout or a squeeze bottle makes this much easier and helps prevent spills.
Fill each cavity almost to the top. Work slowly so the liquid settles evenly into every mold.
Once all molds are filled, gently tap them on the countertop a few times. This helps release trapped air bubbles and creates a smoother final texture.
If you notice any bubbles on the surface, pop them with a toothpick or simply skim them off with a spoon.
Step 4: Chill until firm
Transfer the molds to the refrigerator.
Allow the gummies to chill for at least 2–3 hours. For the best texture, let them sit for 4 hours or overnight.
During this time, the gelatin will fully set and transform the liquid mixture into soft, chewy gummies.
To check if they’re ready, gently press one gummy with your finger. It should feel firm, spring back slightly, and release cleanly from the mold without sticking.
Once fully set, carefully remove each gummy from the molds and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Add the sour coating
In a small bowl, combine the erythritol and citric acid.
Mix well until evenly distributed.
Roll each gummy lightly in the mixture until coated on all sides. The coating gives the gummies that classic peach-ring style sweet-and-sour finish.
For the strongest sour candy flavor, coat them generously.
For a lighter coating, simply sprinkle a small amount over the gummies instead of fully rolling them.
Tip: If you plan to store the gummies for several days, wait and add the coating right before serving. The moisture from the gummies can gradually dissolve the coating over time.
Storage
Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For the best texture, keep them chilled and enjoy them cold straight from the fridge.
