Ingredients

2 cups fruit puree or juice (e.g., strawberry, mango, orange)
1/4 cup sugar or honey, adjust to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
1/4 cup water (if needed to thin)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine fruit puree or juice with sugar or honey. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice if using.
2. If mixture is too thick, add water a little at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.
4. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
5. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
6. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds until popsicles release.

Tips

Use ripe, sweet fruit for best flavor.
For creamy popsicles, substitute 1/2 cup of the fruit puree with yogurt or coconut milk.
Store popsicles in airtight bags in the freezer for up to 2 months.
