Stoplight Frozen Fruit Pops
Ingredients:
- 2 cups strawberries, washed and hulled
- 2 cups sliced peaches
- 6 medium kiwi, peeled and chopped
- honey to taste, if desired
Instructions:
- Purée strawberries in a blender. Add a squeeze of honey for extra sweetness if desired.
- Divide evenly among 6 large popsicle molds. Each mold should be about 1/3 full.
- Rinse your blender, then purée the peaches, adding a squeeze of honey if desired. S-l-o-w-l-y pour peaches on top of strawberries. If you do it too quickly, they will bleed together. I bet you can guess the next step . . .
- Rinse your blender, then purée the kiwi adding a squeeze of honey if desired.
- Pour the kiwi on top of the peaches.
- Add your stick and freeze.
Macaroni Tip: To loosen the frozen pop from the mold, run under hot water for a few seconds - The pops should then slide out easily.
Watch your kids eat them faster than they can melt!
