Strawberry Lime Popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 pounds strawberries <approx. 6 cups>
- 1 cup cherries, any fresh variety <pits removed>
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/8 tsp salt
Popsicle Stuff
- popsicle mold(s) & sticks
Instructions
- Wash and remove stems and pits from strawberries and cherries.
- Add fruit to a medium sauce pan. Add water.
- Cover saucepan and bring to a boil over low to medium high heat.
- Vent the lid a little when it starts boiling, reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes - stirring frequently. <The fruit should break down and the liquid around the fruit should thicken slightly.>
- Remove from heat. Add lime juice, honey and salt.
- Pour fruit mixture into a blender. Blend well. <Vent the lid to let heat escape.>
- Pour mixture into popsicle mold. Freeze overnight or until frozen.
Notes
Other Thoughts
- Use any fruit you want. You name the fruit. We've made popsicles out of it!
- Save all your nearly dead and dying fruit and turn it into popsicles. Add a banana for extra sweetness. Or, if your fruit is super fruit - you likely don't need to add the honey.
- Toss in a couple handfuls of leafy greens if you dare. <If you toss some blueberries in too, the kids won't even be able to see the greens that you add.>
