1. Begin by washing all fruits thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
2. Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces.
3. Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds.
4. Slice the peach in half, remove the pit, and cut the peach into small wedges.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and peach wedges.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey and lemon juice until well blended.
7. Add the honey-lemon mixture to the bowl of fruits, ensuring the fruit pieces are well-coated.
8. Divide the fruit mixture evenly into 8 popsicle molds, filling each about 3/4 full to allow for expansion.
9. Pour water into each mold, gently tapping the molds to help the liquid settle around the fruits.
10. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, making sure they stand upright.
11. Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until fully set.
12. To release the popsicles from the molds, run warm water briefly on the outside of the molds before gently pulling out the popsicles.
13. Serve immediately for a refreshing treat or store them in a freezer bag for later enjoyment.
