Simple Fruit Popsicle Recipe Introduction Homemade popsicles are a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for any time of the year. This recipe uses minimal ingredients and is incredibly easy to prepare, making it ideal for a quick and satisfying dessert. Whether you’re using fresh or frozen fruit, these popsicles are customizable to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs. Ingredients 2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., berries, mango, or peaches) 1/2 cup of fruit juice (such as orange juice or apple juice) 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of your fruit) 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, for added tanginess) Instructions Prepare the Fruit: If using fresh fruit, wash and peel as necessary. For frozen fruit, let it thaw slightly to make blending easier. Chop the fruit into smaller pieces if needed. Blend Ingredients: Place the fruit, fruit juice, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into a blender. Blend until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness by tasting the mixture and adding more honey or syrup if needed. If desired, add lemon juice for a touch of tartness and blend again. Fill the Molds: Pour the blended fruit mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks into the molds. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid. For best results, freeze overnight. Unmold and Serve: To release the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull on the sticks to remove the popsicles.
