Whole Fruit Berry-Lime Popsicles
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons organic sugar
- 1 14 cups thawed unsweetened strawberries
- 1 cup frozen unsweetened pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen unsweetened raspberries
- Have whatever youre going to make your popsicles in ready, I use little 5 ounce paper cups and popsicles sticks from the craft store.
- Measure and thaw out your strawberries for a minute and a half in the microwave.
- You want them to give to the touch but not be cooked.
- Put the sugar, lime juice, and strawberries in a blender and start it up on low speed.
- Quarter your pineapple chunks while its blending.
- Once its all mixed dont stop your blender, open up the little cap on the top and add a few pieces of pineapple letting them blend in a few seconds before adding more.
- You want it to incorporate, adding it all at once wont give you a smooth texture.
- Oh, you might want to put the lid back on quick after each time, it has a tendency to shoot up when you start... but thats part of the fun, right?.
- After all the pineapple is thoroughly blended in add a half a handful of raspberries at a time until blended in, repeat until theyre all in, your mixture will start to get thick being semi-frozen... you may have to let it sit and warm up a little as you add the raspberries.
- Make sure your mixture is blended well before you turn off and taste it.
- This is key, if its too tart for you or too sweet you want to adjust it now.
- A little more sugar or lime juice, you want to barely taste the lime.
- If your strawberries are tart this can mean putting in a little sugar for that as well.
- Pour equal amounts into five paper cups, if your mixture is pretty thick you can push in the sticks and theyll hold themselves up and put in the freezer.
- If not freeze them for half an hour to an hour until the sticks will hold up themselves.
- I let them sit overnight so I know theyre completely frozen but you can judge for yourself when theyre done.
