Apple Melon Fruit Snacks

Hi hi! They can sweat a little in the fridge, but it's nothing too dramatic 😊 We like storing them in an airtight container lined with parchment paper so they don’t stick. If you notice extra moisture, you can dab it off or add a small piece of paper towel underneath, but it’s usually not necessary. Keeping them well sealed is the biggest thing to help them stay nice and chewy 🙌

Aww love that you made them again for the grandkids, friend 🤗 And ooh the maraschino cherry juice sounds like such a fun twist! I imagine it would work. Maraschino cherry juice is quite sweet and more candy-like, so pairing it with a darker fruit like strawberries or raspberries may help balance things out 🍓 lighter fruits (like cantaloupe) are more delicate, so the cherry flavour could easily overpower them.

You could also try half apple juice and half cherry juice for a first test to keep it from getting too strong 😊 let us know how it goes if you test out any swaps!

Aww so glad that you're enjoying the fruit snacks, Terhi! ☺️

Hey friend! It sounds like the foam is air from blending, so it’s fine to mix it back in before cooking or you can leave it out. Straining the mixture gives the snacks a smooth consistency, but it's not entirely necessary. As for boiling, you should keep it at a rapid boil, but if it looks like it might overflow you can lower the heat slightly. The high heat helps to activate the agar agar and evaporate extra water. Hope this helps and we're excited to hear how it goes with different fruits 🤗

Hi Honor! You can use fruit juices if you prefer! We liked the sweetness from apple juice with the melon, but we imagine quite a few other juices would be just as lovely!

Hi Desdo, yes, you can omit the sugar completely! It can change the texture a bit, but we also liked them as sugar-free fruit snacks 😊

Hi Christine, watermelon may work but has a higher water content, which means the flavour might be less pronounced.

Hey Margarita, you can cool the gummies at room temperature or in the fridge. We find this recipe sets within a few minutes using either method. You can use other fruits, but the texture might vary slightly. If you are substituting, try to use the same weights for the best results. Stay tuned, there may be more fruit snack recipes coming soon 😉

Thank you for your answer!!!

Hey Tanya, xanthan gum isn't a suitable substitute for agar-agar in this recipe. We're working on recipes that contain xanthan gum, so stay tuned!

Agreed! But I’m allergic to apples. Which juice is best for a swap?

Amazon or etsy! They're silicone. I have them. I'm so glad they posted this!!!

Thank you, S Askia!

Hey Isabella and S Askia! Indeed we got our online from Amazon 🥰 hope you love the gummies!
