I guess this is less of a recipe, and more of an exhortation: \u00a0You should be making your own popsicles this summer! \u00a0My mom made these Popsicles<\/strong> for us when we were kids, and now my girls are helping me make them, and loving the results.<\/p>\n

The most basic thing you can do is just freeze apple juice. \u00a0That’s it! \u00a0My girls like pieces of fruit in their popsicles, too. \u00a0The first run was halved cherries frozen in the apple juice, and the next batch was chopped strawberries. \u00a0You can do just about anything: \u00a0concord grape juice, lemonade, pureed watermelon! \u00a0Nearly any fruit you like can be added in—just make sure you chop it into small bits, and kind of stir it around with the juice to make sure you don’t have a just a big clump of fruit in the middle.<\/p>\n

What’s even better than popsicles? \u00a0Jell-o Pudding Pops! \u00a0These are just like the ones I’d eat as a kid, when they still sold them in stores (remember this<\/a>\u00a0commercial?) \u00a0They’re easy and so good.<\/p>\n

My popsicle set is this one:<\/p>\n

I like the small size for my little girls. \u00a0You can also use it to make cake pops, but I haven’t done that (yet?). \u00a0Check online or in housewares stores to find the popsicle molds best for your family. \u00a0Let’s get freezing!<\/p>\n
