Strawberry Popsicles



Popsicles are all the rage in blog land this week.  Happy to say I made my own last weekend.  I have made popsicles before, but not with fresh fruit.  I like the buy the frozen fruit popsicles at the store, so I wanted to re-create those at home.  I almost did it.  I know what I did wrong, and will correct next time.  These are delicious, don't get me wrong - but not the total fruit flavor I was going for.  I will post the recipe with my changes for next time. 

I will leave you with this 1 last strawberry post until next week. Now I am off to go run an extra mile or two for all the stuff I have been eating.  Vacation is coming up, and I need to get in shape!


Strawberry Popsicles
Recipe Adapted from Recipes by Suite 101

1 cup fresh strawberries
¼ cup sugar

Mash  strawberries with a fork.  Stir in sugar.  Let sit for 20 minutes to get all juicy.  Pour into molds (or paper cups if you don't have molds), and Freeze!

    More strawberries-whoo! I like the looks of these but am anxious to see your changes. I already exercised this morning-as much as I did not want to. Hope you had a good run.

    This is so simple, two ingredients!? Amazing. And you're right popsicles have been all over the place. I feel left out and need to dig my molds out soon.

    They look beautiful! I've been wanting to make my own Popsicles but I don't have any molds or any cups/sticks. I need to buy some. I'm curious to see what changes you make next time. :)
