Equipment

  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 gummy worm mold
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dill pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Optional, depending on desired sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Begin by pouring 1 cup of dill pickle juice into a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder into the pickle juice while whisking continuously to avoid clumps.
  • If you desire a sweeter gummy, mix in the 2 tablespoons of sugar, whisking until dissolved.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture and continue stirring until everything is well combined and the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
  • Once slightly cooled, carefully pour the mixture into the gummy worm mold. Ensure each cavity is filled evenly.
  • Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the gummies are fully set.
  • Once set, gently remove the gummy worms from the mold and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a vegan alternative, consider using agar-agar instead of gelatin.
Adjust the level of sugar according to your taste preference; these can also be made sugar-free using a sugar substitute.
Feel free to adjust the pickle juice or lemon juice amounts based on your taste preference for more or less tanginess.
