Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh seedless grapes (red or green)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 60 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
1. Rinse the fresh grapes thoroughly under cool running water and remove them from the stems. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
2. Place the grapes, honey (if using), lemon juice, and water into a blender.
Step 3
3. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the grapes are fully pureed and smooth.
Step 4
4. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the grape puree over a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp and skins. Use a spoon or spatula to press the mixture through the strainer to extract as much juice as possible.
Step 5
5. Discard the solids and pour the strained grape juice into popsicle molds, filling each one evenly. Leave a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Step 6
6. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and transfer the molds to the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully solid.
Step 7
7. To serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the pops. Gently pull the grape pops out of the molds and enjoy!
