Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 whole Kiwi
- 1 cup Pineapple
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 10 whole Mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Wash all the fruit thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Hull and dice the strawberries into small chunks.
Peel the kiwi and cut it into small cubes.
Chop the pineapple into small bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple.
Add the orange juice to the fruit mixture to lightly coat the fruit. If desired, stir in the honey for additional sweetness.
Gently tear the mint leaves into smaller pieces and mix them into the fruit.
Spoon the fruit mixture evenly into an ice cube tray, filling each slot. Pack the fruit lightly to ensure each cube holds together.
Carefully pour the remaining orange juice into each slot of the ice cube tray until just full. Avoid overfilling.
Place the ice cube tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the cubes are completely solid.
Once frozen, pop the fruit cubes out of the tray and serve immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer until use.
