Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized fresh pineapple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright, and slice off the outer peel. Remove any 'eyes' or hard spots left in the flesh.
Cut the pineapple into quarters and remove the core from each quarter. Chop the pineapple into chunks.
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and water. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and frothy.
Taste the mixture. Depending on your preference, you may add a little more lemon juice for additional tartness.
Pour the pineapple mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top for expansion.
Gently tap the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Insert popsicle sticks into the center of each mold.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull the popsicles out of the molds.
Serve immediately or store in the freezer for later.
