Pork Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
These little gummies are a genuinely fun way to sneak some extra collagen into your day, and the flavor combination of fresh apple juice, grated ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon makes them taste like a cozy autumn drink in snackable form. The honey adds just enough sweetness to balance the warmth of the spice without tipping into candy territory. The key to the whole thing is the bloom step — letting the gelatin soak into the cold juice before heating ensures a silky-smooth set with no lumps or grainy texture. Grass-fed beef gelatin is what makes these work beautifully without any pork-derived ingredients, so you get all the satisfying chew and collagen benefits with complete peace of mind. Straining out the ginger fibers before pouring into the molds gives you a clean, glossy finish that looks almost professional. They're easy enough to make on a Sunday and snack on all week straight from the fridge.

4 servings
- 2 cups fresh or 100% pure apple juice, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed beef gelatin powder
Instructions
- 1
Pour 1 cup of the apple juice into the small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the juice and the surface looks matte and slightly wrinkled — this is the bloom step and ensures the gelatin dissolves smoothly.

Add the remaining 1 cup of apple juice, the grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and honey to the saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking gently, until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and steaming — about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
