BLUEBERRY POWDER
This is more of a method, than a recipe! In keeping with our principle of #lesswaste, you can use leftover blueberry pulp from our Gummy Bear Recipe to make blueberry powder! This has a long shelf life and can then be added to smoothies, porridge, granola and muesli as a flavor and nutrient enhancer. It makes a great natural food colouring too.
Ingredients
Left over blueberry pulp
Method
Spread the blueberry pulp on a dehydrator sheet.
Dehydrate at 45 °C for ±6 hours, or until completely dry.
Scrape the dehydrated pulp off the dehydrator sheet and place in a coffee grinder.
Grind for 30 seconds.
Store in a glass jar in your pantry cupboard.
BLUEBERRY GUMMY BEARS
Ingredients
250g OZblu® Blueberries
¼ cup freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
3 tbsp. Grass-fed Gelatin
3 tbsp. Honey
Method
You will need a silicone sweet mould and dropper.
Place blueberries and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the purée through a sieve to remove the “bits”.
Pour half the purée into a bowl and the other half into a saucepan.
Add gelatin to the purée in the bowl and stir to mix in. Set aside.
Heat the other half of the purée over medium heat (while stirring) until just boiling. Pour this warm mixture over the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Add the honey. Stir to mix.
Using a dropper, fill the silicone sweet mould with the mixture.
Refrigerate for 2 hours (or overnight).
Remove the gummies from the mould and enjoy!
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
