We've had a blissful stretch of warm weather over the past few weeks, so we decided to celebrate with homemade popsicles. My kids are teenagers, but they both love popsicles and each have their favorite flavor. Caleb likes berry flavored, while Jade prefers orange creamsicles. Of course store bought pops are fast and convenient. However these are much healthier and we enjoyed making our own. One bite and we were magically transported to someplace tropical!
Ingredients
1 pint fresh strawberries; cleaned and stemmed
2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
juice from 2 lemons
1 pint fresh strawberries; cleaned and stemmed
2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
juice from 2 lemons
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves; finely chopped
1/4 cup sugar (more or less depending on the sweetness of your strawberries)
Directions
In a food processor (or blender), combine strawberries, orange and lemon juice. Add sugar. Blend until smooth. Mix in thyme.
Pour mixture into molds and freeze overnight. To easily release popsicle from mold, run under warm water. Enjoy!
