Orange-Honey Fruit Snacks
These take at least an hour or two to set in the fridge, so plan to make them a little in advance of when you want to serve them.

- 1 cup pulp-free orange juice
- 1 tablespoon raw or local honey
- 2 packets (or about 2 tablespoons plain gelatin)
Pour 1/2 cup of the juice into a medium bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over it and let stand for 1 minute.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining cup of juice in a microwave-safe glass or bowl until boiling, about 30-60 seconds.
Pour into bowl with the cold juice. Add the honey and whisk until everything is dissolved, about 30 seconds.
Pour into a silicone mold or an 8x8 baking dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Cut into squares and store in the fridge in an airtight container. Serve cold.
- Use pulp-free juice for the smoothest texture.
- You can use store bought juice or squeeze your own. (Strain it with a fine mesh sieve if desired.)
- Let the gelatin dissolve in the cold juice first before adding the hot. This helps to avoid clumps of gelatin.
- Add powdered probiotics if desired.
- Let chill and set in the fridge before trying to cut or remove them from the molds.
- Remember that a sick child may not have their normal appetite, so focus on liquids and cuddles and always check in with your doctor.
