Berry lemon popsicles make a refreshing treat on a hot day or any time of year. They’re loaded with fruits and have much less sugar than typical popsicles.
Summer is in full swing around here and I’m loving it. I’ve had the chance to spend more quality time with my kids lately with school being out and it’s been wonderful. It’s not always easy balancing work with play time, but we’ve been making it work so far.
It rains A LOT in South Florida this time of year…by a lot I mean every day at least in the afternoon so indoor activities are key. I converted the garage into an art play room so that’s been helping keep my kids busy and we also started a new tradition. Twice a week, we create a brand new recipe together. We spend time thinking about what would be fun to make, go buy the ingredients and get going in the kitchen!
It’s been a lot of fun and this week we made Lemon Berry Popsicles. They’re made from homemade lemonade and fresh raspberries and blackberries. I was in charge of stirring the boiling sugar and water, while my kids were squeezing the lemons until they reached 2/3 cup. Then they added the rest of the water, washed the berries and added them to the popsicle molds. Here’s the simple recipe so you can make some too. There will be leftover lemonade, which is a bonus!

Popsicles:

Freeze for 6-8 hours until frozen solid.
