Fruity popsicles can be a wonderful way to introduce new fruits into the diet. By making your own popsicles you control the amount of sugar being used in the recipe.
Ingredients
3 cups honeydew and cantaloupe
5 to 7 medium strawberries
½ cup blueberries
½ cup raspberries
¼ cup water
¼ cup simple syrup made from equal parts boiled sugar and water (simple syrup is optional)
8 count Popsicle Mold (sizes may vary)
Instructions
In a small saucepan combine equal parts sugar and water. Stirring frequently cook over low heat to dissolve the sugar. Allow the simple syrup (sugar mixture) to cool. The hot simple syrup will cook the fruit if not allowed to cool.
Place the melons, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and simple syrup in a blender and mix until smooth.
Fill each Popsicle mold with the fruit mixture.
Freeze the molds overnight.
Remove the Popsicle mold from the freezer and allow it to stand for 2-3 minutes before taking the Popsicles out of the molds for eating.
