Beat the Heat: Make Your Own Popsicles

Looking for a fun treat for the kids and a way to cool down?  Make your own popsicles.  Just buy molds.  These are the ones I have:





And add juices/fruit. My son and I made 2 with apple juice and 2 with orange juice.  Then I let him drop in his favorite fruits.  The hardest part...waiting for them to freeze.


I just dropped the fruit in whole. I love making our own because I can regulate the amount of sugar and what kind of juice I want to use.  Plus you can add fresh fruits. Check out these other sites for recipe ideas:
