These delightfully chewy raspberry gummies are made with real fruit and set with pectin (indeed, there’s no gelatin required for this recipe, meaning they are vegetarian and even vegan-friendly)!
While it does require time and precision, making your own gummy candies is incredibly satisfying and well worth the effort, resulting in perfectly sweet, chewy fruit gummies bursting with bright raspberry flavor.
Before we get started let me clarify that these are perfectly innocent gummies, not those kinds of gummies, and I cannot and will not advise as to how to adapt this recipe to be those kinds of gummies. Just so we’re clear up front. All good?
Moving on.
The raspberry flavor is on point. Many gummy recipes are basically water, sugar and pectin with concentrated flavorings mixed in at the end.
Not this recipe, which is made using real fruit in the form of pureed fresh raspberries (strained, because, let’s face it, seeds would mar the perfection that is the chewy gummy texture). Frozen berries will work here too, with a few caveats (see the notes at the bottom of this post for more on that).
Pectin-based gummies, while they do take more time and precision to make than gelatin-based recipes, present flavors more cleanly and produce a vegetarian-friendly candy with a lovely jammy chew. Think of the texture like a really thick jam, as that is essentially what it is (compared to gelatin gummies which are more stretchy/rubbery). It’s like the difference between a gumdrop and a gummy bear.

I don’t know about you, but me and my family are all about fresh fruit in the summertime. We’ll take any excuse to add fresh strawberries, juicy peaches, or ruby red cherries to almost anything we eat, like these Strawberry Rolls or this Cherry Galette!
This fruit salad is an incredibly easy side dish or breakfast made with glistening berries, kiwi, cherries, peaches, and mint leaves. The simple agave and lime dressing is the perfect finishing touch and balances the fruit’s tart and sweet flavors beautifully. Treat yourself to a scoop for breakfast or dessert, with your favorite summer mains, or whenever you’re craving a sweet and healthy snack.
There are no rules when it comes to fruit salad recipes, so feel free to make this version your own! You can use your favorite fruits, use what you already have in the fridge, or add any of these suggestions:
You can technically make a fruit salad with frozen fruit, but I don’t recommend it. Frozen fruit becomes soggy and watery after it thaws, making your salad very messy with unbalanced flavors. Instead, save the frozen fruit for a fruit smoothie or a fruit crumble.
Summer side dishes don’t get better than this summer fruit salad! It adds a sweet, tart, and juicy bite alongside other classic summer dishes, like veggie burgers, BBQ tempeh ribs, grilled vegan kebabs, and watermelon arugula salad.
Or, if you’d rather enjoy it for breakfast, pair it with non-dairy yogurt and homemade granola for an easy vegan fruit parfait. Any leftovers would be really tasty served on top of vegan pancakes or waffles!
Yes, you can prepare the salad 1 day before serving. Slice and chop the fruits and store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, toss the fruit with the dressing and serve.
The leftover fruit salad will stay fresh for about 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Any longer and the fruit will start to soften and make the salad soggy and watery.
