These sweet n’ sour hibiscus / ginger paleo gelatin gummies are a great snack on the autoimmune protocol. Â Super quick to make and so much fun to eat afterwards! Â They are packed with healing gelatin and make a wonderful little snack to have on hand to safely satisfy your sweet cravings. Â Keep them in the fridge and enjoy as many as you want!
I am using silicon molds to give my gelatin gummies fun shapes. Â I bought some off of Amazon over the years, and occasionally I buy them in home goods stores. Â If you don’t have molds, that’s all right. Â You can still make delicious gummies using a large dish (like a rectangular glass baking dish or even a cookie baking sheet with raised edges) lined with parchment paper. Â Follow the instructions in the recipe and once the gelatin has set, simply cut up small squares with a knife.
The recipe calls for ginger juice. Â I find mine at our local Vitamin Cottage store. Â I am pretty sure you can find it at Wholefoods, or online! Â I like the brand The Ginger People. Â They offer organic, high quality products and they are working on having their entire line Non-GMO accredited. Â Organic ginger juice is really convenient to have in your kitchen pantry and the perfect alternative if you don’t have any fresh ginger on hand!

Hi jen!
Great Lakes, red can.
Good luck!
These sound amazing! I love hibiscus tea & ginger. My question is, do you use fresh or dried flowers? I have them growing in my yard.
Hello Rebecca 🙂
I use dried hibiscus flowers, but that’s because I am not lucky like you and don’t have fresh hibiscus flowers in my backyard! If you try with fresh flowers, please do let me know how it turns out for you!
