1. Prepare the pineapple: If using a whole pineapple, peel, core, and chop it into chunks until you have 3 cups. Alternatively, use pre-cut fresh pineapple from the store.
2. Add the pineapple chunks, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and water to a blender.
3. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey or syrup.
4. Pour the blended mixture evenly into popsicle molds, ensuring you leave a small gap at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
5. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer.
6. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully solid.
7. To remove popsicles from the molds, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them, then gently pull on the sticks to release the popsicles.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade pineapple and lime popsicles!
