Blueberry Lemon Popsicles
Who doesn’t love a popsicle on hot summer day? The South can be brutal this time of year. I like to get some relief whenever possible. Popsicles are a great, healthy treat that cools the body good!
Here’s a great tasty popsicle recipe to make your own! I know there isn’t anything better than a home-made dessert, especially made with real fruit!
(blueberry popsicle)
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup frozen grape juice concentrate, slightly thawed
(lemon popsicle)
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
zest of 2 lemons
1 cup lemon juice
Make blueberry flavor by pulsing blueberries in a food processor for about 10 seconds, then stirring to combine with the grape juice concentrate. To make lemon flavor, heat water and sugar, stirring, until sugar has dissolved then add zest, bring to be a simmer, and remove from heat. Let cool. Pour the sugar mixture through a strainer into the lemon juice, and stir to combine. Pour blueberry flavor into popsicle molds and fill about 1/4 of the way. Freeze (about 30 minutes), then fill another 1/4 with lemon flavor, and continue alternating and freezing until popsicles are ready.
This may take a little patience and time to make, but they’ll be so worth it!
Enjoy! Have fun! Stay cool!
