Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups water
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. You can do this by removing the green tops and any white core.
Place the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water in a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth puree. If you prefer a less pulpy popsicle, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or water according to your preference.
Pour the strawberry mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
If your popsicle mold doesn't come with a built-in stick mechanism, let the popsicles freeze for about 1 hour until they are semi-set, then insert wooden sticks into each mold.
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until the popsicles are completely frozen.
To release the popsicles from their molds, you can run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade strawberry popsicles!
