Strawberry Popsicles
Homemade Strawberry Popsicles are an easy to make frozen treat made with fresh fruit, sugar, and lemon juice. Your family will love this healthy snack!
Ingredients
- 4 cups quartered strawberries roughly 1 lb
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Add the quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to a large bowl. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, until the strawberries get juicy.
- Add the strawberry mixture and water to a food processor or blender.
- Process until relatively smooth. Some chunks of strawberries are okay.
- Pour the mixture into your popsicle mold.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
- To remove from the mold, run the outside of the mold under warm water for about 10 seconds, being sure not to get any water into the inside of the mold. The popsicles should easily pop out of the mold with a little pressure.
Notes
- You do not have to have the strawberry mixture completely smooth. If you like some chunks of strawberries, just pulse the mixture until it is mostly smooth.
- You can use frozen strawberries. Let them thaw before processing.
- You may get more or fewer popsicles depending on the size of your mold.
- To store popsicles, remove them from the mold and immediately wrap each popsicle in parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent them from sticking together. Then, place in a freezer-safe container or storage bag.
