My son and I have been experimenting with homemade popsicles again and we discovered another yummy combination........ pureed strawberries and fresh orange juice!
Here's the recipe:
Fresh Orange Strawberry Popsicles
Ingredients:
4 oranges
8-10 strawberries
2 Tbsp sugar
Directions:
Juice the oranges and strain the juice. Add 1 Tbsp sugar and mix well. Set aside in a refrigerator.
Wash strawberries and pick off stems. Puree them in a blender or food processor. Blend in 1 Tbsp sugar.
Pour strawberry puree into popsicle molds to fill the bottom half of the molds. Place in freezer for about 1 hour. Take out popsicle molds and pour orange juice mixture to fill the molds. Place popsicle sticks or popsicle mold handles into the molds and freeze for an additional 2 hours.
Great idea. When I read this I had a flashback to my childhood when my mother would freeze fruit cocktail in Dixie cups with a stick. We thought they were grand fun. Alas, when I think of this now, I realize most (although not all) canned fruit has little vitamin content left. But there's something really fun about eating a common food frozen... Kept us quiet and happy for a while anyway.
