Scale
For purple:
- 1/2 c. blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 3/4 c. Juicy Juice 100% Juice, apple flavor
- 1/2 tsp. blueberry flavoring oil (optional)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. agar powder
For orange:
- 1 small orange, peeled
- 3/4 c. Juicy Juice 100% Juice, Orange Tangerine flavor
- 1/2 tsp. blood orange flavoring oil (optional)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. agar powder
For yellow:
- 3/4 c. Juicy Juice 100% Juice, apple flavor
- few drops all natural yellow coloring
- 1/2 tsp. lemon flavoring oil (optional)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. agar powder
For green:
- 1 c. spinach, fresh
- 3/4 c. Juicy Juice 100% Juice, apple flavor
- 1–2 Tbsp. maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. apple flavoring oil (optional)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. agar powder
Instructions
- For the purple and green colors, place the blueberries or spinach into a pan with the apple juice and bring to a simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until the juice has turned either purple or green. Remove the fruit/spinach from the pan, making sure you keep the liquid in tact.
- If you are making the orange colored worms, blend together the peeled orange and the Tangerine Orange juice until smooth. Place into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Do a quick taste test. If you want you can add 1-2 Tbsp. maple syrup depending on your tastebuds. Also stir in the flavoring oil..
- At this point for all colors, stir in the agar powder and reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes. The agar should be completely dissolved by now. Whisk constantly.
- Remove from heat our into desired molds with a syringe* (I found a gummy worm mold that came with the syringe on Amazon).
- Refrigerate until sets, approximately 10 minutes.
- Keep chilled in the fridge for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Notes
*If you do not have any fun molds, fear not. Simply line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper and pour the mix into the pan. Allow to set, remove from the pan and slice into thin, worm-like shapes.
