Happy Summer!! It is by far the best season of the year (excuse my bias, I'm a summer baby). These beautiful long days with sunshine and a light breeze are what make me love this time of the year so much. I'm back in Happy Valley, which makes me even more happy! This summer I will be blogging without a kitchen unfortunately, but nonetheless that still means plenty of posts! I was reading some random recipes on how people are beating the heat and fell in love with this fresh fruit popsicle that I thought was worth sharing.
In this gorgeous season, the amount of fruits that are readily available puts a smile on my face. Everyone should replace their afternoon snack with some watermelon, strawberries or pineapple according to me. I'm not a health freak, but I love me some fresh fruits. This recipe encompasses my love for fresh fruit and my desire to stay cool in this summatime heat!
Recipe:
4 cups fresh strawberries (pineapple works too! watermelon might not be as flavorful because they have a lot of water already in them.. hence the name!)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup water
This is probably the simplest procedure ever...
In a blender, throw in the strawberries and honey and lime juice. They them mix and mingle and become a sort of thick liquid, a little more runny than a smoothie though! Add in the water and continue to mix until they are fairly runny. Pour them into popsicle molds and put them into the freezer for some chilling. Wait as long as you can ( I know, it'll be hard) but you want to make sure they are completely set before you start to eat them! If you replace them with any fruit, let me know and tell me how it goes! :)
