Tropical Ice Pops
C
elebrate the natural sweetness and all-round goodness of fresh fruit by blending it to a purée, adding a few extras and making your own personalised frozen ice pops. You can be super-flexible on what you choose and it’s a great way of using up fruits before they deteriorate, extending their shelf life and reducing waste. If you’re short of decent fresh fruits to use, make the most of already frozen ones or even tinned fruits in natural juice. Once you’ve blended your fruit choices, always have a taste before pouring into ice-pop moulds to check the balance of flavour, adjusting when needed. You shouldn’t require any added sweeteners, but if you do find something a little too sharp, add a little honey or agave.
