Fresh Fruit Popsicles

Every time that I've looked through my Pinterest boards recently, the picture for these fresh fruit popsicles has taunted me. I'm not one of those people who can ever choose between having ice cream or a popsicle and my favorite type of popsicle are ones that include fresh fruit.

I'm not really a fan of the prices of the fruit fruit popsicles you can purchase at the store though. Did you ever do the math to realize they sometimes want close or over $2 per popsicle? That' awfully expensive for sugar, fruit, more sugar and some preservatives, so once I found a proper set of popsicle makers, I immediately began making my own.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups watermelon, chopped
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
• 1 peach, peeled and chopped
• ⅛ cup blueberries 

Directions:
1. Puree watermelon and strawberries together in a blender.
2. Divide kiwi, peach and blueberries among the popsicle makers. Pour the watermelon/strawberry mixture on top.
3. Freeze for 6 hours or until firm.

The amount of each fruit that you will need depends on the size of your popsicle makers. The ones I use came in packs of 6 from Ikea last summer. Unfortunately they don't tell you how much they hold or I could have tailored the recipe a bit more.
