Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole nectarines
- 1.5 cups strawberries
- 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Wash the nectarines and strawberries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Cut the nectarines into quarters, removing the pit. No need to peel them unless you prefer a smoother texture.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green caps and stems.
Add the nectarines, strawberries, honey or agave syrup, lemon juice, and water to a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. Taste the puree and adjust sweetness by adding more honey/agave syrup if needed.
Optional: Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or skin for a smoother popsicle.
Pour the mixture evenly into 6 popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully frozen.
To remove the pops, briefly run the bottom of the molds under warm water to loosen them, then gently pull out each pop.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
