There isn’t anything better than a healthy homemade fruit snack made with natural ingredients! These homemade gummy fruit snacks were made with fresh cranberry juice and orange juice and naturally sweetened with raw honey.

Cranberries are in season so I thought I would make a batch of healthy gummy fruit snacks for my kids. The cranberry juice was very tart so I sweetened it with orange juice and raw honey. This combo was delicious and pleased my 2 year old son who loves gummy fruit snacks. Both fresh and jared juice will work in this recipe. You may omit the sweetener if you don’t mind the tartness of cranberry juice.
