Fermented Cod Liver Oil Gummies

One of the supplements we use religiously around here is fermented cod liver oil. You can read an excellent post by Cheeseslave on why using fermented cod liver oil is better than other cod liver oils HERE.

The trick was in finding a way to get my kids to take it willingly, as I'm not big on forcing things down them. Last summer Mommypotamus had posted a recipe for Sour Gummy Stars, so I decided to change her recipe and see if I could add in the FCLO and get my kids to take it that way. Took a little tweaking, but it worked! My kids actually ask for them. :)

Here's what I do:

• 1 cup of juice
• 6 tablespoons of gelatin
• 6 tablespoons of honey
• 5 tablespoons of emulsified FCLO (or 3 tablespoons of regular FCLO, but they taste MUCH better with the emulsified)

Whisk together over low heat until everything is smooth and melted. It only takes a few minutes at most. Pour into molds, and put in the fridge for a few minutes. After they come out of the molds, put them in a container and keep them in the fridge.

Using ~2 tsp of mixture for each gummy should come out to ~40 gummies. That would make 2 gummies = 3/4 tsp of FCLO, which is a serving size of the emulsified.

If you use regular FCLO, each gummy has just over 1ml of FCLO. Since 2ml of the regular FCLO is a serving, 2 gummies would still be a serving.

The licorice works really well with grape juice, and cherry juice. I'm going to try some of the butter/fclo blends with this recipe as well. :)
