Instructions

- Add the water, and the sugar if you choose to use it.1 cup water, 2 tablespoon sugar
- Blend until the strawberry mixture is smooth.
- Pour into the popsicle molds almost to the very top. Leave a little room for expansion.PRO TIP: If you don't have a popsicle mold, you can use paper cups or ice cube trays. Paper Dixie cups work great!
- Place the lid and popsicle sticks into each mold according to the type of mold you are using.
- Place in the freezer for 6 hours, or until hard. You may need to set your freezer on it's coldest setting.
Notes
- Ripe Fruit is Key: Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor. The riper the fruit, the less added sugar you'll need.
- Don't Overfill Molds: Leave a little space at the top of your popsicle molds. The liquid will expand slightly as it freezes.
- No Molds? If you don't have popsicle molds, use small paper cups and insert popsicle sticks once the mixture is partially frozen (after about an hour).
- Freeze Completely: Ensure the popsicles are completely frozen before attempting to remove them, usually at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. This prevents breakage.
- Easy Removal: If your popsicles are hard to remove from the molds, run the outside of the mold under warm water for a few seconds. They should then slide out easily.
